What if Voynich plaintext is very heavily shortened?

The idea of tokens formed by common groups of glyphs is a very natural one, however it can be observed that their frequency is extremely inconsistent, ranging from 0 to a lot, and therefore difficult to reconcile with a simple interpretation as a plaintext letter or group of letters.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has a lot of or (in 31% of words)
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has a lot of al (in 37% of words)

The frequency of the most common ending, -dy, drifts continuously from 0 to nearly 50% of words.
