Note that:
(1) this requires probably 27+ active symbols in the underlying language
(2) this doesn't by itself produce a binomial distribution of word lengths
(3) this would probably produce a more flat symbol adjacency distribution 
than observed?

Roman numerals (or some steganographic relative of it) would seem to match 
these three points more closely.
