Ok, so if I understand correctly the spaces are not real spaces but a way to hide and obfuscate the real meaning.
Well, it's possible and if I recall correclty it was considered by some people before.
And it was used in practice, after all Wikipedia says in its basic article about ciphers:
Usually the ciphertext is written out in blocks of fixed length, omitting punctuation and spaces; this is done to disguise word boundaries from the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and to help avoid transmission errors. These blocks are called "groups", and sometimes a "group count" (i.e. the number of groups) is given as an additional check. Five-letter groups are often used, dating from when messages used to be transmitted by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.:

But there must be some fixed rule how to remove this spaces.
If you start to join and break vords (Voynich words) free at will then your solution becomes very ambiguous and two different people reading the same text may get a very different solution.
