One could argue of course that labels are governed by a different system than paragraphs, but I'm not sure if there is any evidence to support that.

I made some changes to the table, but it is still not totally perfect. I definitely don't think this is the full answer, but I've been looking for a way to generalize similar components of vords.
Just an idea - Back to the drawing board then

What about labels?
That would have been my follow up question. I am nearly certain that labels represent actual words.

If one suggests a procedure for encoding, then a procedure for (unambigous) decoding should be conceivable as well.
And, vice versa, if one suggests a decoding procedure, then the respcetive encoding procedure should be conceivable.
Respectively, if a set of "instructions" is supposed to convert Voynichese to plain text, then what would be the set of instructions to achieve the opposite? How, with a specific output, we achieve "[qo present]+[any galllows]+[ch]+[any group from column 6]+[o]+[any group from column 11]"?

I think it's worth considering, given the high proportion of vords that end with dy that cannot be accommodated by the d in column 9.
I can't run calculations during the workday to see how this influences the other factors (e.g., to see if another column is necessary or just an addition to an existing column or any number of other ways it may need to be reshuffled to accommodate the d), but a glance-through tells me it increases the percentage that can be generated with the chart.
