Firstly, it allows a joining aircraft to skyline any existing circuit traffic and fit in appropriately rather than effectively aiming for a fixed point in space (circuit height over the numbers) and then wondering how the hell to slot in if someone is downwind. The VRIAB can be extended as required or at worst blow through and try again...
Very probably I don't know how a VRIAB should be done properly but the times I have witnessed what was purported to be that approach it looks like the last thing you would want to be doing at a civilian field, particularly one that has other traffic. It seems to me to be an exclusively military manoeuvre, but isn't this forum General Aviation?
Maybe this would work...
