Thanks, Anton. My answer below:
1) In this case, I believe they are different scribes. There have been studies done exploring how scribe's handwriting changes as they get older, and the differences between "my" Voynich scribes don't suggest that.
2) no
3) One place where I think there MIGHT be a different scribe is the middle on f. 75v, but I haven't made up my mind about this yet. It's definitely a different pen and different batch of ink, but I'm not entirely certain if it's a different scribe.
4) Unfortunately, there just isn't enough Voynichese there to say for sure. I don't THINK it's any of the primary scribes, but I could be wrong.
