Wolfgang99,
it is normal for a 600 year old book to have been rebound, to be incomplete and to feature odd folds and holes in the vellum.
It has nothing to do with the makers of the manuscript, and is due to events that happened after the manuscript was composed.
As for the parchment, it was relatively expensive but the Voynich parchment is not top quality either.
Also I would not describe the scribe as "clumsy" or having "bad handwriting" at all.
