Hello Anton,
as I am sure you are fully aware, all entropy values capture in a single value an entire distribution of probabilities. For single character entropy, it is a 1-dimensional distribution of probabilities, while for character pair entropy it is a 2-dimensional distribution.
Finding a way to reduce the entropy values of a plain text is a very interesting exercise, but the real 'proof of the pudding' will be to compare the actual distributions.
I have started a new page where I have redone some plots that I did many years ago.
This illustrates in yet another way just how different the Voynich MS text is from, say, Latin.
