I think the reference to Pheobe Cates in Cover Story alludes to the "poolside scene" in Fast Times At Ridgemont High and, I guess, Olivia and Phoebe do look alike.

This is the first "Double Issue" - right at the height of the global banking recession. This is a regular accurance from now on.
It really was a way for Playboy to sustain the business with the consequent savings in production and distribution costs.
Though there would have also been a drop in advertising revenue it'd likely not have been by much as the 2009 issues were already pretty thin as they struggled to sell the advertising space.
For each "Full Page (of) Advert(s)" they sell they need AN OTHER page as well (prior to October 1985 it'd have been THREE) . Doesn't have to be all articles - could be other adverts. But you can see how the advertising they sell directly affects the size of the magazine.

166 pages of period adverts, pin ups and articles with lots of quality photographs and illustrations.
