As Nablator mentioned above, the Bonaventura manuscript You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. shows irregular spacing. These are a couple of occurrences of "de cuius"
For a phonetic script, spaces are convenient, but not vital. Of course, one can also think of many different cipher systems that do not depend on spaces.
Inconsistencies in spacing basically rule out some forms of nomenclator where ol, chedy, olchedy correspond to totally different and unrelated words (e.g. ol=rain, chedy=bow, olchedy=boat). This could be another argument against the possibility of a word-to-word mapping (word-to-word requires clear words, and this is not the case).
Similarly, verbose ciphers that heavily depend on spaces like that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. are ruled out. But verbose ciphers can be designed in such a way that space ambiguity is not a problem (e.g. by avoiding cipher sequencies sharing the same prefix).
