Note the word 'sometimes'.

But I never disputed that djarspageti is a valid fu'ivla.

Type-3 require consonant ending rafsi as prefix precisely
because other vowel ending rafsi sometimes produce invalid
fu'ivla. Other times they produce valid fu'ivla, but they
are not Type-3, which are the ones that can be created
following the algorithm. Perhaps you are using a different
definition of type-3, one that does not allow generating
them easily?
