Hi Emma,
I agree that working on the illustration/scribe intersection could be the best option at the moment. I am not sure I would exclude those pages from Scribe1-Herbal pages, after all they are Herbal pages and they are by Scribe1.
It is possible that also the other larger blocks could be further segmented on the basis of bigrams (and maybe other measurable features like MATTR). In particular, I read on Nick's blog that Glen Claston noted that Quire13 is made of two kinds of bifolios (Q13a "tubes" and Q13b "pools"). I wonder if the different illustrations are paralleled by language differences?
But working on scribe+illustration seems like an objective approach and, as you say, it leaves us those three parts that are large enough for meaningful analyses.
