Default Building preferments - conflicting Hamelman advice?

On pages 146 -147 of his book, Hamelman painstakingly describes the
benefits of building the (wheat) preferment in two stages.

Then, on page 188 he appears to suggest building rye preferment in a
single hit (except in his Detmolder 3-stage recipes).

Is there a reason for taking an approach with rye preferments that is
deemed to be sub-optimal for wheat preferments?
