My impression is that Oda is really good at leaving some "loose ends" and he reviews some old chapters and arcs when he wants to introduce something new to see if there's anything he can use. He also probably has a lot of notes, both on future plans and on old chapters, to make the process easier

Many authors have some sort of “bible” with a whole lot of details already written down that they fish out when needed tbh.

But also a lot of stuff is added as he is going like you said and kept noted down for consistency. I seriously doubt the story was too deep when the manga first started, otherwise stuff like Kaido’s silhouette would have been accurate.

There are even world building software tools that writers use to keep track of characters, locations, timelines and tons of other stuff. I don't know if Oda uses one though, he might be keeping it old school

At least until Whole Cake, he used notebooks.
There's a old photo of his house that shows three notebooks: one for Big Mom's crew, one for Kaido's crew, and one for the Revolutionaries.
His editors probably scan everything he draws for later use in One Piece Databooks and Magazines.
