The officials give their assignors open dates. Each individual assignor slots his games in the league(s) he's responsible for by using the availabilities given to him. And each assignor usually does not know what that official is doing on the days that he has said he isn't available.

Iow, the individual assignor doesn't really know how many consecutive games that Welmer or any other offiicial is working. They can only control the schedule when an official is working for them, but they can't control when the official may be working for another assignor.
