In reality I would expect all these components to be squeezed tightly together so I don't see how the large stencil plate would be of much use for rework. Presumably it would need to be cut up into small "per IC" units if someone wanted to put down solder paste on to a PCB which was already populated with other ICs.


As implied by jdietrich, they (seemingly) stencil the chip rather than the board.
