At the section level we can be much more confident that the differences are not a statistical fluke.

Hi, there, Nablator, you are right. I can explain what is going on. 
In my Slovenian transliteration/transcription (not fully adjusted yet), I noticed some words occurring several times on the same line and on several consecutive lines, like in the section below. If you know Serbian, you would understand what the words LEK and LEČITI means. It is the root for the words related to healing and healing remedies, pharmacy, and even religious psychological mystical healing. And since the vocabulary was not yet diversified, there was a lot of repetition.

The example of the two section is only partially adjusted, however I noticed that the sections with many labels also have lower entropy, because the listed individual words are then written in 'sentences' as they are used in different grammatical forms or for different meanings.

The word LEK is used throughout the VM text, but in some sections, it is much more frequent and more repetitive.

The repetition of suffixes, such as -am, -dam, -dy, -al (EVA aiin, daiin, dy, al) is related to the style of writing (first, second, third person).

This would surely cause low conditional entropy.
