Unique and ambiguous glyphs are just normal for the VMS. On nearly every page one or two weird glyphs exists. See for instance this german page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

It is hard to find a pattern behind unique elements. It seems as if the scribe was sometimes testing different design variants for the glyphs used. Sometimes weird glyphs are used to fill gaps. It seems as the glyphs are used for layout reasons. The weird glyphs are one of the reasons for the idea that the glyphs are used to draw an image of a text.
