Exactly, yet some people would argue that <n> is not a character of its own, 
without never having done any counts at all.

In fact I counted about 140 (!) instances of <n> without preceeding <i>

Are those errors? Or should we assume that <a> is  <oi>? 
In that case <daiin> should be <doiiin>?...

...Or it would it be better to have <n> as a separate character? 

Just those with preceding <a> appearing more than once:
21 dan
12 chan
8 qokan
6 okan
6 shan
5 an
3 otan
2 chean
2 cthan
2 kan
2 san
2 qotan
2 chokan
2 odan


And from the duplet frequencies there are:
an 119
en 7
on 9
_n 4
sn 1

Cheers,

Gabriel
