Each hole creates two images, each image separated by 90 degrees from the
hole, in a manner of speaking. So if the holes in a two-hole mask are
separated by 150 degrees instead of 180 degrees, you end up with two
pairs of images, each separated by 30 degrees.
Since the out-of-focus images are bloated, the alignment has to be off
quite a bit before you see four distinct images with a two-hole mask.
