Nope, not a code, just a more efficient way to copy texts or take notes. It would look like a code since you couldn't read it without knowing the system. There's the additional complication that the system is probably used at each scribe's option so a word could be spelled out completely and abbreviated within the same paragraph. Frequency analysis is of limited use with a single document to define your language, bu having multiple representations of the same word would skew its utility even more.
The Ricky McCormick writings strike me as a mnemonic text, like R43L5r12 for a combination or r42l4.5m2i9 for street directions. I think VMS is too large a document to have a mnemonic function.
