Monty, Miles, and Kerry planned out the plot of the entire show together before they began writing the script for volume 1. They definitely know where Monty wanted the story to go because they planned it with him and wrote it down.

They've also said before that sometimes they move plot points around because they realize things like


 * "We actually can't do this until later because these other things need to happen before this or else they can't happen at all" (In other words: This plot point is a deadline for other plot points, so we have to do those before we can do this)


 * "We can actually do this earlier, right here, and it would be a lot better if we do it here!"


 * "We can't do that yet (or do it the way we planned it/want to) because of technical problems..."

They don't have the specific details and episode stuff written down ahead of time specifically because plans sometimes change. So, they sort out the exact specific episode-by-episode details and write the script one volume at a time.
