Could there be more documents written in voynichese ?
Quick review of the main ones.

==============================
Erwin Panofsky speculated about a 2nd volume of the vms but also speculated it had not survived.

"That it is probably the surviving one of two volumes: the plant and star half of the work which doubtless included also beasts and stones"

There are the missing folios.

"The following 14 folios are missing from the MS:

    f12, apparently cut out, stub still visible;
    folios 59-64, three bifolios that should have been in the centre of quire nr. 8 (13);
    fol. 74, cut out, stub still visible. Cut marks are clearly visible on f75r;
    Quire 16, which appears to have consisted of one bifolio composed of f91 and f92;
    Quire 18, which appears to have consisted of one bifolio composed of f97 and f98;
    folios 109 and 110, that should have been in the centre of quire nr. 20."

There is also supposed to be a copy of some folios made on behalf of Barschius that were sent to Kircher.

The letter of Georgius Barschius to Athanasius Kircher (1637)
"And so I ordered a certain old book to be transcribed in part, with the writing closely imitated" -Barschius

Notes, documents from Original creators
"I like to imagine that somewhere there are still some documents / notes left by the people who created the MS. Drafts or something similar"
