How big do the leaves of A. Bulbifer grow, I found one at my local Succulent nursery last week, and I bougt one, the corm was about 3.5 inches across and the leaf is now 15" high and about 12" across.

I can't comment with regard Amorphophallus, but I've had Typhonium venosum
(which the literature often says is solitary leaved) with four leaves
simultaneously, the largest 1.5 m tall with a leaf blade 1 meter in diameter
and the smallest 0.75 tall and 0.5 cm in diameter and regularly with three
leaves simultaneously. Plants with this many leaves went on to produce
exceptionally large tubers (maximum 1.25 kg with a diameter of 30.5 cm.

I got two very nice Amorphophallus bulbifers earlier this year from the
nice people at Gardino Nursery. The Amorphophallus issue of Aroideana says
that A. bulbifer has solitary or paired leaves. Both of mine are now
growing their *third* leaf (simultaneous, all three are there at once)!
How

unusual is that and does it have any implications?
