	Look at my Cat Latin C, under "Verbose Ciphers"
(incidentally, I think 
I coined the term; someone please correct me if I'm
wrong!):

http://www.geocities.com/ctesibos/voynich/mbpaper.htm

It takes a Latin text and produces a text with the same
entropy profile as 
the VMs.  Of course, as I note, this cipher doesn't
have the look-and-feel of 
Voynichese.
