It would need to be tested to say this for sure, but my sense is that you'll still have to contend with the letter-order problem in Voynichese. Do most words start with a certain stroke and then proceed through others---is there any system like that?
This is especially acute for Chinese characters where stroke order essential to recovering the character, so you can't rearrange them to get the strokes in a partiuclar order
I myself have played with decomposing and re-ordering Latin letter components, but I struggled to come up with a set of rules that didn't sometimes give words like qotaiiiiin, though that's obviously not the last word on the matter
