I agree with you that 116v is written with an uncertain hand. It does not look like the handwriting of a professional scribe.
I don't think the difference in feathers (quills) is what causes the spacing to be different in the two sets of handwriting (116v versus Voynichese main text). I really wonder if it's because it's a cipher or invented alphabet. When people invent alphabets or ciphers, it is VERY common for them to be spaced wider (and to be less connected) than regular handwriting.
