Yeah, a bigger text would usually be better. Though I wonder if the VM really plays that way, with its apparent lack of the kind of recurring phrases we'd expect in the likes of herbals and recipe books.
And the challenges might be just the same. First, the catch twenty two: we will not be able to reliably feed Voynichese into a computer before we understand it better, but to understand it better we would really like to be able to use brute computing power. And two, Voynichese does not map one to one to any known language, so finding a solution will require a different approach regardless of text size.
