For a manuscript written in "cipher" (whether real or synthetic), it seems likely it was written in advance (perhaps on wax tablets) and copied on to the final parchment.
One-to-one substitution ciphers can be learned in an hour or so, and then written like normal text, but there's no convincing evidence that the VMS is a one-to-one substitution code. It's structured in a completely different way and would not have been easy to write without some kind of reference.
