As some people have already said, it is very likely that the script was done using a mechanical device. I think the generator of the glyphs was a three or four-ringed volvelle. This would explain the rigid distribution of 'syllables' within a 'word'. I use these linguistic terms for better understanding although I don't believe in them.
Most of the surviving volvelles deal with astronomy, so if the VMS script was done with one of them its nature is likely to be also astronomical.
Like saint Thomas I only believe what I see, and I've seen in volvelles from the time of the VMS the numbers 8 and 4 (this one in its old arabic shape) representing dayligth hours of zodiac signs, not any sign but the solstices. In these volvelles there are two 8 togheter, one for each quadrant of the day, and two 4 togheter for each quadrant of the night.
In the VMS script we see many 8 and 4 (EVA-d and EVA-l) within words, and sometimes also two 88 and two 44. I don't know how to interpret that, only I just want to record a fact that It seems to me important because it has to do with the movement of the rotating parts of the volvelle.
