Contrived spaces aren't going to result in VMS-like text on their own. That's why I suggested possible addition of null characters.
A null or two would cancel out many of the "tells" that would identify text as a contrived-space system.
Plus, nulls don't have to be nulls in every instance. They can be positionally dependent to distinguish them from ones that might have linguistic (or structural) meaning.
In the VMS, the g is at the ends of words far more often than one would expect, even in languages with many words ending in vowels. And o is at the beginnings of words with unusual frequency, as well. If they were nulls or semi-nulls, they could be put there to obscure contrived (or arbitrary) spacing.
