Yes, we have a whole thread about unusual glyphs with many examples by Wladimir: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
To find a pattern behind that, one should think over the way the Voynich glyphs are designed and why they are designed in that very manner. There are no definite answers to these questions at present, but some discussion is here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
But the gallows coverage is not something "unusual" from this perspective. Except for rare "irregularities", such as additional loops or dots inside loops, it is, on the contrary, quite usual - the same glyphs just exhibit different reach of the loop. So it makes sense, in the first place, to record their usage and see if there are any patterns. For example, it looks like that (labels apart) multi-character gallows coverage is exhibited in first lines of paragraphs exclusively.
