If there really are three separate encoding systems being used in the VMS, then I'm afraid that our task becomes even more difficult because now we have to solve three separate systems with the existing corpus. This is very different from finding 3 instances of Voynich script in different contexts, all of which seem to use the same system. Then it would be easier.
Postulating that there are three different encoding systems at work is only slightly more helpful than the common rookie ad-hoc mistake of explaining away the oddities of the Voynich text by supposing that there are 3 or more languages at work.
(That said, the 3 different systems idea may very well be correct...but if so, then our work becomes harder, not easier).
