They should be blatantly obvious, once the text is transcribed. They exist in all languages I now, they certainly exist in Chinese. It doesn't look like they can be easily found in the Voynich Manuscript.
I don't know how common 4-word expressions like "on the other hand" are in old Chinese manuscripts. My impression is that those texts tend to be rather terse. But anyway the VMs has many 2-word expressions" that recur more often than expected, like qokedy otedy
Both that Chinese text and the VMS have many occurences of duplicated words like "mù mù" and "chuàng chuàng", qotedy qotedy and otaiin otaiin
The whole "Starred Parags" section has a distinctive structure, like a "bulleted list". Like the SBJ.
One of the diagrams has a circular text with a sequence of 17 symbols repeated 4 times (with some hiccups, which I would attribute to errors by the Scribe or by the conjectured Retracer).
