I can't give examples while I'm working, but I would strongly disagree with this statement.
Voynichese tokens can certainly have more than one gallows and incidences of those with more than one are not transcription errors. I also believe that combination gallows (which are done in a very systematic way) may be a "shorthand" way of combining two gallows into one.
