The issue I have with this theory - and I like this theory - is that it seems too regular for the late Middle ages.
In other words, there is no reason for such a structural framework to be imposed upon the scribe. Why would you go to such lengths unless you had much more modern knowledge about language and wanted to deceive?
If it were possible to link your theory into a mechanical mechanism, it would be much more believable.
IE - imagine a scribe who has a mechanism to produce words (I'm thinking of a mechanical volvelle which can be easily spun for each word). I haven't been able to come up with a combinator to produce Voynich words in this fashion - have you?
