In those years people had no idea of statistics, entropy, noone would have calculated how many paragraphs start with gallows and bother about whether otol and odaiin are both mentioned in the first page or not. It is almost impossible that anyone in 15th century would have carefully modelled the "silly" look of the text with all its observed characteristics. Say, it was some process which, by its inherent properties, made the text look as it is - or it was a synthetic language that looks "silly" by unpretentiousness of the design, but not by the latter's intention to make it look "silly".
No statistics are needed to notice autocopy reaching the level of glossolalia in Q13 and Q20 with such wonderful phrases as qokeedy qokeedy qokedy qokedy qokeedy and almost all the large reoccurring strings. Since this is much more visible on some page than on others it seems that it is not a necessary feature of the system, leading to my supposition that it is intentional. I don't know of course. Maybe the cleartext is less varied for some reason on some pages (for example if they contain many roman numerals or whatever) forcing a less varied ciphertext.
