Well, if you can propose a classification of the herbal/botanical folios into groups, it shouldn't be too hard to see if there are specific words or other properties of the text that correlate with your proposed groupings.
(EDIT: Okay, now I see that you're suggesting that each individual page itself represents a distinct group. So, scratch that idea.)
One of the first things I did when I began studying the manuscript was look for connections between the words in the herbal folios and properties of the illustrations. I remember not finding much that seemed secure, though I probably should go through it again since I know a lot more about both the text and the illustrations now.
It might also make a good computational project if anyone wants to do the heavy lifting as far as the coding is concerned - say, come up with "tags" for all folios that share a given attribute and then see if there are text properties that correlate with the tags.
