Thank you Koen, Marco, Linda, and Aga.
So, largely it was my failure to find the threads addressing the question of grafting, related blog posts and other thoughts people have had on the subject of coppicing, etc.
I can certainly see the arguments for VM plants showing the appearance of coppicing and for plants growing back from trimmed down stems/root and from bulbs, stems and roots where the plant has died down over winter.
I guess my original thought was under the heading of the thread, being compound plants, rather than plants which look like they've regrown from their own roots. You can create images of compound plants as fantasy drawings, through bad drawing, as a metaphorical, allusive, or cryptic image, or you can literally create a compound plant by grafting.
Naturally one shouldn't get too far into this kind of speculation without any kind of evidential base.
Some of the links you all kindly provided do go in that direction, although I'm not sure how useful to core questions about the VM this might be anyway, so possibly not worth spending much time on...
