I used "word fragments" in order to avoid the more common term syllables, such as used also by Gordon Rugg.
The latter has a specific meaning, which does not have to apply to what I am doing. The parts do not have to be syllables at all.
I do not understand exactly what is meant with "mapping of 3 or 4 characters to a sequence of Voynichese characters". The paper proposes a range of possibilities and options, and where earlier ideas have been reused it is clearly mentioned (e.g. Rugg and Stolfi).
Verbose ciphers in general (including so-called "word games") have been mentioned since the beginning of the old mailing list (1990's) and one case in the paper would be an example of that.
