It is all flowers and wonders when one manage to create a clever set of rules that convert some voyniches sentence into readable text, but when you start to apply it beyond that line, you start to add "new rules" like:
Well this one could be an abreviation but this other one can not be abreviated. Well, this one is latin, well this one has to be greek, well this one is actually a mistake: what the author wanted to say is this, well this one is probably nonsensical because the scriba was drunk, well this other word that... is also nonsense so... well, and... this is a new character wtf...? well, 5 times "prolongation" in a character in a single word?! why?!
At some point one just relize how wrong the solution was. There are people that make a code that works for a parragraph, claim that it solved voyniches, proced to negate reality by running away and remain silent when it does not work for other unrelated folios. Because it hurts, you need to have a strong mind to keep going. I gave up on solving it by my own, i don't even want to read what it says to be honest.
