It took me a lot longer than I expected to finish @Pfeaster 
Its full of valuable info and lots of ideas from yourself and others that seems to reflect my findings in places. I think I will note them once I am finished and put something out rather than go into here. I definitely need to go back and look at some parts a couple times.
I did find it interesting that you explored the idea of numbers. I have, rather tongue in cheek, said "numbers" on a number of occasions when people say "well explain how XYZ, does YOUR solution answer that!".. I find "numbers." answers all the questions.. but I'm not sure if it is a good answer or just one that is hard to argue against.
Regarding the repetition and especially "qo", I have wondered for a while.. maybe it is just "+". I think I am right in saying is almost never starts paragraphs or labels and is pretty exclusive to mid-text.
As in;

If I were to go really off the deep end.. you could imagine the x shape like EVA y/l (if you start the loop from the top, it is exactly EVA: l), then we have end-y/l start-qo x4 in a row, which feels pretty "Voynich'y"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for my systems progress I've spent some time considering if "a" and "y" are Curve-Line, which very nicely wraps up how I think they function.. but I seem to back myself into a corner with "oy" and "oa" where I need to say "o" before "a" or "y" is ignored. I've not entertained a rule like this until now and just said "no it doesn't conform".
On one hand I describe how things function better and restrict the system further, on the other I add an exception.. which seems like a slippery slope.
I have also thought maybe "o" is a break and all the spaces are meaningless. Its something I plan on trying out anyway.
Edit: Yeah.. my system doesn't work at all between "o"s, or line end to start. Guess it's nice to see it doesn't work for any old Voynich text. Will have to make a choice on how to represent "a,o,y" though..
