Also, a separate issue is whether the minims are single strokes or, in some cases, double strokes.
I think some of them might be double-strokes (like a "u" shape). The reason I think so is that early in the manuscript, the scribe expressly put a cap over two minims and distinguished them from the following "w" shape with a tail. It isn't proof, but it does increase the probability that some of them are double minims (and some seem to be drawn that way), which is why I tried to record single and double minims separately as ii or u.
Edit [addition]: I found an example. I don't want to assume too much, but it's almost like the scribe is indicating some relationship between the first two minims and the last two minims:
