The word "reduplication" is redundant.
If it is written twice, it is duplication. If it is re-duplicated, that could be interpreted as written twice, twice (e.g., daiin daiin, daiin daiin), or some other number more than two.
So daiin daiin is duplication.
Yes, the VMS is full of it.
But we don't really know if it is duplication, except if we define it as such. What is before or after might be modifiers (especially if spaces are not word boundaries). The intention of the words might be different even if they look to us to be the same.
