I am also still trying to fully understand...
Taking this line as a starting point:
One risk I see is overmodelling. It is probably sufficient, even better (subjectively) not to aim for more than, say, 98% coverage. There will be errors in the text. We don't know how many and where, but the high number of hapax is also a hint in that direction.
The major issue of word spaces is largely covered by a looped slot system, which is probably one of the most attractive aspects of it.
The word tchodypodar is a tricky one. It is very long, compared to average word length, but all its transitions are common. Now it 'feels' wrong that this should have as many as 5 chunks, and it also 'feels' wrong that the common bigram 'dy' is split into two different chunks. The word 'fachys' is nice and short but highly irregular. It is the type of word that I would discard when setting up a model.
On a side note, the first character of each paragraph could be left out of consideration for the known reasons, but that would change 'fachys' into 'achys' which is only a bit better.
However, my main question is: how does your asemic text relate to the slot model? Is it generated based entirely on it?

Just for colour, ‘fachys’ is chunkified as [f][a][ch][ys] and is among the valid word types found by the grammar.
