(It's unlikely that a medieval scholar would use more than one character for a null). But the results will of course depend on transcription, so different transcriptions need be considered.


In the diplomatic ciphers collected by Tranchedino, it was quite common for there to be several nulls in each cipher-set BUT even though use of multiple nulls did exist in the middle ages, the VMS code does not have a verbose set of symbols as in the Tranchedino codes and thus would be less likely to have multiple nulls.
