Possibly.

"The rest" is part of an equation.  There is old Stencil's journals and a 
much bigger picture which is presently beyond young Stencil's reach.  
Herbert grows his underwater farm mostly from "the rest," his own 
embelishments, conscious and not.

"The rest" might only mean to point to the different sources of the 
dossiers: old Stencil's journals and "impersonations and dreams,"  which 
would not imply any bigger picture, only two sources of incomplete 
knowledge.

But Herbert is clearly in search of "V." and some legacy from his father.  
For me the bigger picture is the quest.  The lack of "real" data, let alone 
relavent insight is at the forefront of this whole book, but the need to 
find the bigger picture presses hard.  Mother and Father seem the bigger 
picture for youg Stencil.
