Lets say that the cipher contains the folloing n-grams: 8 a r ar 8ar . They have differentes sizes and they also share glyphs. Spaces would be the only way to distinguish them. 8ar 8ar would be equivalent to 8ar8ar but not the same that 8ar 8 ar and not the same that 8ar 8 a r.
They could matter, but then spacing would be far more consistent (no two transliterations agree). Reasonable conclusion: spaces don't matter, they are only there to mislead: vords are not words. Voynichese is a fake agglutinative language created by dropping a lot of spaces in a semi-systematic manner similar to what was commonly done in Latin manuscripts: spaces were frequently omitted, especially after short function words.
