That is an interesting observation. I think on your side, one thing which may be hard to prove is that the author didn't stumble upon the cKh combination after he began using script - there are many examples of signs ending up fitting together which were never intentionally designed to be (Mayan Hieroglyphs give many examples). I believe the VMS author designed the two signs separately and later realized he could fit them together if he elongated the ch a little.

Without stone-cold numbers to support or deny what we see, we will continue to go in circles forever and the VMS will never be solved ("I think that [a] and [o] are the same" - "I think that [l] is a form of [y]" - "I think that [ch] and [k] weren't intentionally designed to make [ckh]").
We need statistics
