You have to rename the file currently called source_file.java to xMATTR.java

Yes.

I did a few test runs and got lower results with Latin prose than poetry, not unexpectedly. Less careful writers than poets reuse the same groups of words more often. The problem with lack of clear phrase structure in the VMS goes deeper than just having few long patterns of words: logical/functional links between words should be detectable not only between adjacent words but at intermediate distances too. Word ordering and grouping, even in Latin, is far from random: the same author is very likely to have a consistent style of word ordering. The statistical tools described in the WPPA document are very interesting for that and would be very much worth running your corpus of texts on.
