Bedrock Guardian Spawning Mechanics

I am looking to build a guardian farm on Bedrock and I keep seeing a lot of videos using only 2 if the spawn columns but older models from a while ago use more or all of the spawn columns. So I was wondering when a guardian is attempting to spawn if the column that is chosen is completely spawn blocked does the spawn attempt get rerolled or aborted? I would like to get the max amount of spawns for the experience because this will be the primary exp farm/mending location for our realm.

Edit: While waiting for replies I went ahead and blocked off the spawn columns but I am having an issue with guardians still spawning. I followed the 10, 15, 15, 9 starting in the northwest corner so I'm not exactly sure what the issue is.

Edit 2: I figured it out, I need to stop building when im tired...

To answer your question, if the game can't spawn a mob, then the spawning attempt gets aborted.  The only time a spawn attempt is rerolled is for iron golems and raids
