Some observations:
You don't say anything about encoding (the used cipher which hypothetically turns let's say "radix" into "chedy"), just about the structure of the source text.
Do you have any ideas about the cipher?
Do you think that if the text lacked basic words like "and", "so", "with" etc. but was encrypted in some simple way, then it would be harder to crack?
Personally I don't think so.
The structure of Voynichese isn't also compatible with what you suggest. It has a high percentage of hapax legomena (unique) words which is similar to Latin with declension and much higher than let's say English.
It has very common words like "daiin" which would be good candidates for words like "and" (but it doesn't work). If there is no "and" then what "daiin" could be?
