Whenever the revelation came down to Prophet Mohammed through Angel Jibreel, all under Allah SWT's command, he memorized the verses regardless of how long of how many they were from the first time, and then dictated them to his companions who wrote them down immediately. Hence, the Quran was both memorized and written in different manuscripts at the same time.
Sometimes, when Prophet Mohammed Peace Be Upon Him received the revelation, he used to repeat the verses immediately, fearing that he may forget the revealed verses. So Allah Almighty ordered the Prophet to follow the recitation of the angel:
16. [O Muhammad] Do not move your tongue with it (the Qur'an) to hasten with it. 17. It is for Us to collect it and to give you [O Muhammad], the ability to recite it [the Qur'an]. 18. And when We have recited it to you, [through Jibreel (Gabriel)], then follow its recital (i.e The Quran). 19. Then it is for Us (Allah) to make it clear to you. Quran (75:16–19).
