[split] Verbose cipher?

[MarcoP]

Normalizing entropy is an interesting and worthwile task in itself, and I was enthusiastic about it myself a few years ago, when there were first discussions on entropy in the Forum. But... somehow it's easy to over-focus upon it, and it's as easy to lose grasp of the "big picture" - just as a substitution-cipher-solver would lose it (the difference is that the substitution-cipher-solver is most probably yet unaware of various properties of Voynichese)

IMO, one should always bear in mind the "big picture",  -which is probably not altogether accomplished yet, - but its components are:

1) entropy
2) positional properties of characters within vords
3) positional properties of characters within lines and paragraphs
4) gallows coverage
5) vord reduplication (strict and quasi-)
6) multipass
7) graphical decomposition of characters
8) <fill in your own variant here>

Thank you, Anton!
I would add "the drift from Currier A to Currier B".

It's depressing to see verbose ciphers treated exactly like all the delusional attempts at simple substitution. The fact that verbose ciphers are trillions of times more complex seems to go unnoticed. Actually, the added complexity risks being welcome to the delusional solver, who only sees more room to play around.
