If you know the private key already, you just need to know which "page" it falls in, which should be documented somewhere as the pages are procedurally generated.

what does procedurally generated mean in this particular context ?
The data on a page are the results of running a function on the inputs of that page, not connecting to a database or anything.

view(coins = coins_with_prefix(query.page_num))

so, the site operator doesn’t need to go buy 2^256 bytes of hard drive space to store all the pages.
