This is a good observation.
Actually it is not a novel idea but rather it confirms what many people (including me) noticed.
Voynichese words make visual clusters on the pages and it's not chain direction only but rather it is 2-dimensional. So a word may be "inspired" not only by previous word but for example by the word above it.
But human "impressions" is one thing and proper statistical proof with Levenshtein distances is another thing.
You could even write some article about - a proof that Voynichese has much "stronger" clusters of similar words than natural languages.
We could then always quote it when someone doubts it
