Many NT papyri have been edited separately. For example, I have here the publication of P66 and P75 in the Bodmer series. There are also editions of the Chester beatty papyri, some scraps of other papyri in the Patrologia Orientalis. All those editions were made by serious papyrologists: why not use them? And, as to the Bodmer editions, teh edition is accompanied by photographic reproductions of those papyri, which enables you to verify. Im' afraid I don't see the need for anything other than that!
