That's weird, but approximately how I'd do it if I were on layout while someone else wrote and the two had to be done simultaneously. On most of the projects I've worked on, layout comes after writing is finished, but I guess E3 needs as much time recovered as possible. You'd basically go "Okay, this chapter is how many words?" and generate some lorem ipsum of appropriate length. You've usually got a basic idea of what sized illustrations you want in a chapter after you outline, like "full page for this part of combat," "a couple half-pages running through social" or whatever. The really tricky part in this context would be the potential for getting some sidebars in and loving up your pre-made layout. Alternatively, they could be talking about a basic page template, with text styles set and your background cruft all set in, but that's almost so generic that it's non-applicable.
