What it says is that there isnt as strong a word order grammar in voynechese like we have in english, german or other germanic languages. If there is grammar it is probably more in the case system and less in the word order. (or my grammar extraction algorithm needs improvement)
I'm not sure I understand whether you are talking about a grammar in the computational sense (something like "the preference of certain sequences to follow certain other sequences depending on fixed rules") or the grammar in the linguistic sense. They are related, but I think the linguistic grammar is generally governed by the semantics, which can be quite complex, and might not be easily detectable from the word order alone.
Also, I'm not sure the Bible is a good choice of the source text for this task, I suppose it has way too many repeating patterns and similar phrases with personal pronouns, compared to, say, a treatise on astrology. Since it doesn't matter if we take an old text or a relatively new text, maybe some scientific book from the XIX (that is, in public domain) from the Gutenberg project could be used as another benchmark?
