E.g., consider the cipher I designed to showcase how distance encoding can handle a large source alphabet with a small number of marks.

It takes only 9 marks and three distances to encode one of 27 letters per 2.5 loci of the code. With the alphabet of the size of Voynichese it's possible to encode up to one of 70+ symbols per 2.5 loci or a single Latin letter per single letter of the script, keeping apparent text entropy low.
(edit: fixed the wording, as it sounded as if you can encode 27 letters per 2.5 loci and not one of 27 different letters)
