Sam- I know what the Rambam said, but I’m sure that there are exceptions even according to his shittah. There’s a machlokes if the words Kodesh Lashem were on one line on the Tzitz or on two lines. There is a machlokes where the broken luchos were in the Aron Haeidus (I think the machlokes is if it was actually inside the Aron next to the non-broken luchos or in a separate compartment on the side). This must be a machlokes due to the breakdown of Mesorah. I can think of no other explanation.
