  This may well be possible, of course (among many other possible things). It has been proposed many times and in many different flavours, I myself made a complicated set of software 'volvelles' which writes a text very similar to the original Voynich in many statistics (a gibberish text, in this case). The problem is to find a system which works and convinces people due to its explanatory power (mine failed to convince even its author  ).

  
  That sounds interesting, Mauro. Could you share it with me privately? If it's code, I love hitting the “Run” button

  The problem is that Voynichese is probabilistic and not deterministic.
  
  The letters depend of previous letters but these aren't absolute rules, just tendencies.
  
  You will find a lot of exceptions and uncanny cases for any rule you will say, even for Prefix + Root + Suffix word structure.
  
  If some disks or volvelles were used, they weren't the only thing.
