English translation:in some cases the fencing would conform to the boundaries of the parcel itself, whereas in others...
Explanation:
...it would be a matter of best fit.

The meaning here is that, in some cases, the fencing would be arrayed along the boundaries of the parcel whereas, in other cases where this was not practical (say, if there were large boulders or a stream of water along the parcel boundary), fencing would be placed according to where it would most make sense.

Suerte.
