No they are continuous strips the length of the board.

>How is routing anything in Eagle going to help?

I don't really think it is, but I guess it allows him to draw the circuit
and attempt to do a layout with only vertical and horizontal traces. Not
sure that it will do efficient traces though.

>Isn't the OP going to manually connect the strips?

Yes, what he is looking to do is have the bottom layer as the copper strips
on the board, and the top layer as the jumper wires. So what he needs to do
is set the thing to 0.1" pitch for each, but I suspect he is going to have
to use insulated wire anyway.

I cannot figure out how other components are going to get laid out either,
unless he has a heap of footprints for C's and R's with different hole
spacings on the footprints. Otherwise there will be excess jumpers to work
to standard footprints.
