I have for a long time now that the spaces were irrelevant.
Like in Arabic. But it is not Arabic!  Reminds me... 
several years ago I had written an article, a follow up
for my first article in Cryptologia,  using Sukhotin's
algorithm to tell vowels from consonants in Voynichese,
but I tabled it ("tabled" in American English), sure
that they would never publish it. The gist of it:
x (frogguy x, EVA l, isn't it?) is the letter "u". It
is rare on its own, I mean, next to consonants, but
very  frequent following o (EVA o, frogguy o). Conclusion:
EVA ol is the sound [u], written as in Greek "ou". If
memory serves Greek omicron-upsilon has been pronounced
[u] since around 500 AD. (I just had just replaced 
every occurrence of ox (ol) by some other letter, re-run
the algorithm, etc. Did it for a lot of other likely
combinations. Only ox (ol) withstood the tests).
