A well known voynichero named Nick Pelling once said the VMS is the Mt. Everest of cipher's meaning the most difficult to break. I believe John Dee authored the VMS. ’.
If all your assumptions are based on the foundation-assumption that John Dee authored the manuscript, then you will have to convince people that the signposts of age (both visual and physical) are wrong and that it was created more than a century later than it appears (and tests).
It's not just a matter of saying the parchment could have been around for a while before it was used, there are many other indicators of early 15th-century origin that cannot be explained by simply saying the vellum lay unused in a chest for 150 years.
