-She found that having drawn an Ellipsis coursely with her own hand, she had drawn the two Axes of the Curve, instead of drawing two Diameters somewhat inclined to one another; whereby she might have fixed her imagination to any two conjugate diameters, which was requisite she should do.

Question: Do native speakers think IT is obligatory before WAS REQUISITE?

No.

"whereby she might have fixed her imagination to any two conjugate diameters" refers to the "which was requisite she should do."

@PUNKEY,
More damn insightful analysis. Good work, Punkey.

whereby she might have fixed her imagination to any two conjugate diameters, which was requisite she should do.

The underlined portion is a sentence/full clause modifying relative clause.
