The way the titlescreen was created, was to optimize for the least amount of rom space so it's not a continuous memory space that you can edit. That's just the way it was programmed and there is no way to change it. Also some parts are shared so you have to make sure your design includes shared bits.

Pacman mazes are symmetrical because that is the way the game works :) Keep in mind symmetical mazes allow for a 50% savings in rom space.
