I may need correction, but my understanding of Mr. Pelling's "Block Paradigm" is that the 'block' consists of a whole page of text. The comparison is based on the sequence of relatively longer and shorter lines found on the page of the VMs and finding a similar sequential structure in a corresponding plaintext. Sort of like having teeth of varying heights found of certain keys. Has this approach been validated by any proposed examples?
The consideration of word length in a sequence is a similar but separate investigation. If found, it would seem to depend on the similarity of both topic and the close relationship of languages, rather than on topic alone.
