These do not seem like mutually exclusive conditions to me---and perhaps more to the point, you need to show that they are mutually exclusive---and so I don't believe you can hinge falsifiability on them. There is no inherent tradeoff in the ability of one model "to reproduce unseen material" and another to do the same. In fact, a significant problem with Voynichese studies is that many models capture at least some of the features reasonably well, so tests distinguishing them must be carefully undertaken and the tests for that thoroughly justified.

What it seems like you've tested is whether or not this model manages to reproduce key features of texts not in its sample set without reference to any other model. This is fine to its limits, but from what I can see, I agree with the point that it has mostly reproduced features from other models rather than ruling them out.
