Hi Vonologia,
I'd say I mostly agree with the count you made, but I'm not really sure of my own count:
To me, the problematic part is the single character "cells". For some reason, the scribe has often made the spaces between them smaller than the spaces between the multi-character "vords", which makes counting difficult.
For example, is the initial sequence v.sa.l.y or v.saly ? I'm inclined to agree with you that there are four "cells" there but... why has the scribe made the spaces between them so small?
Single characters are not so frequent in the rest of the Voynich text, so I wonder what makes them so frequent on this folio...
For instance, according to Voynichese.com (their count differs from yours somewhat), l as a standalone occurs only 58 times in the entire manuscript, but 11 times on this page, while standalone k occurs 13 times in the Voynich, of which a full 10 are on this folio.
