The details of the binomial distribution of course depend on the transliteration system. We don't know what makes a Voynich character (EVA:a, iin, aiin?). They also depend on how the many uncertain spaces are treated.
Stolfi observed that there are natural languages whose word length follows a binomial distribution.
Gaskell and Bowern found that spontaneous written gibberish can have a word length distribution with low skewness.
Lots of the glyphs appear as singlets in lists ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ) or in the circles ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ). I think we can reasonably treat those glyps as single letters. How many glyphs are missing if we combine all those lists? Could that perhaps help to discover capital letters?
