So for the whole VM, adding spaces to the end of each line I get 16,4%. Without spaces at the end of lines I get 14,7%.
It's hard to say which is the "right" number with all the labels and we can't really see what sentences are, so we don't know whether there should be an implicit space at the end of a line or not. I'm leaning towards 16% as a point of reference.
For a modern Dutch novel I get 18,3% spaces, and 16,8% without end of line spaces (though again this is somewhat arbitrary).
I guess the difference may be explained by the fact that Voynichese lacks really short words.
