That's the first lines of Voynichese where I replaced glyphs which may have looked like numbers to the medieval eye with modern numbers. The idea is not some kind of substitution, but rather to imitate the visual effect. I went for the dramatic option by choosing JKP's 5 instead of 0 for EVA-0.

You could take that a step farther and substitute 2 for EVA-s (2 was sometimes written like EVA-s):

fach92 9ka4 ar ataiin Sh54 Sh5r9 cThre2 9k52 Sh5489
25r9 cKhar 5r 9 kaer chtaiin Shar are cThar cThar 8an

85iin 5tee9 5te52 r545t9 cTh*ar 8aiin 5taiin 5r 5kan

Or, you could go another direction and treat those that look like Roman numerals as though they are.

Of course, even if this is the right idea, it's not guaranteed that numbers match their shapes. If it were a numeric system, the shape for 4 might represent 8, for example.
