Honestly, i dont know what to make of this binomial distribution business.
1. Statistical corollary of the method used to generate voynichese.
2. As postulated in post#1, it was done deliberately.
3. Coincidence.
4. Other ?
.
I think it is quite possible that the shortening of longer words in VMS plaintext and the lengthening of short words with "filler syllables" represent a form of ciphering. If it were possible to identify these "filler syllables", then the actual words could be reconstructed in the first step. However, it would not be possible to restore the shortened words. The content would be irretrievably lost. This only makes sense if the creator of the VMS considered the appearance (with glyphs) to be more important than the possibility of ever being able to read the content again in full.
However, I do not believe that the distribution is a coincidence, it is simply too conspicuous for that.
