One of the things I’m currently doing is looking at the 340 as it just being a wildcard cipher (again). It was daikon who at the time cracked smokie’s purple haze cipher (a hard cipher just by its own) and then applied the same attack to the 340 which gave nothing (trying limited sets of high count symbols as wildcards). I’m using a more thorough approach to provide a more definite answer.
A wildcard is a symbol that is suspected to be polyalphabetic in a way. It was smokie treats who suspected that several symbols in the 340 could be wildcards. The approach I will next discuss looks at the 340 as being just a wildcard cipher without any other steps.
What I’ve done is added a new operation to AZdecrypt’s manipulation solver and the option to iterate every so many seconds (basic hillclimbing). The operator is called LengthSymbols(a,b,c). Where operand "a" allows to either remove or expand a set of symbols, and operands "b" and "c" provide the amount of symbols you’d like to remove. If "b" is at 1 and "c" is at 3 then the program will randomly roll a number between 1 and 3. If it rolls a 2 then 2 random sets of symbols will be removed or expanded. It only expands in this case, which means that a new unique symbol is created for every instance of the expanded symbol.
I opted only to expand one symbol at a time with an iteration time of 86400 seconds (one day). When the iteration time is met the program picks the highest scoring result and starts over with that cipher. 100.000.000 iterations per restart, Reddit 6-grams and a multiplicity weight of 1.3 so the program will not overvalue high count symbols. I will update the thread once a day with the new results/iteration.
I’m running the 340 and smokie ciphers (purple haze wildcard cipher) side by side and here are the base scores, no symbols expanded.

And here are the first iterations/selections:
For the 340 the "+" symbol scored the highest return, so it will unfold further from there and for the smokie the "E" symbol was picked. These are for both ciphers the most frequent symbol. Nothing readable appears for both. Tomorrow I’ll have the next iteration.

Great idea for an experiment! I look forward to your reports of its progress.
Second batch of iterations/selections just came through. For the 340 the "K" symbol has been additionally expanded, it occurs 7 times. Smokie’s cipher (4 wildcard symbols total) has been cracked and a very readable solution appears. For it, the "Q" symbols has been additionally expanded, it occurs 10 times. I saw 6 other readable solves sitting in the directory, all scored around and over 19500. I’ll keep smokie’s cipher in the running to have some gauge for a realistic multiplicity limit, though it is a very hard plaintext to catch.

Third batch of iterations. The 340’s score progressed only very little (from 18554 to 18669) expanding the 4 times occuring "J" symbol. Smokie’s cipher is going very strong with a score of 21379 expanding the 8 times occuring "S" symbol. Note that scores display somewhat lower than they should be due to adding a multiplicity weight of 1.3.

Fourth iteration. The 340’s score again progressed just a bit by expanding the "4" symbol that occurs 6 times. At the moment it doesn’t look good for the 340 (score wise) but as long as smokie’s cipher keeps solving it should be worthwhile to keep the experiment running. Smokie’s cipher seems to have maxed out, don’t think a much better solution can be achieved. The 4 times occuring "[" symbol has been expanded.

Fifth iteration. More of the same. For the 340 the "f" symbol has been expanded which occurs 3 times. And for smokie’s cipher the "Z" symbol which occurs 2 times.

Sixth iteration. Smokie’s cipher did not improve its previous score and I decided to stop its run. I’ll keep the 340 running for a few more days but I feel that if the 340 has 4-5 wildcards it should have been cracked by now. I’m thinking about rerunning this test while expanding 2 symbols at a time so that there is more depth to the search, which would possibly allow to crack ciphers with up to 8-9 wildcards if multiplicity permits.

Wow, I am impressed. I guess I don’t have to try to figure out how to solve a cipher like that anymore. Perhaps you will solve it soon.

Lots n lots of words and mini sentences.. Especially in the top two thirds .. How do you judge a good partial "solve"
Not sure if it’s just garble or needs further investigation..
Not sure if breaking it down helps.. If not let me know.

Not sure if it’s just garble or needs further investigation..
It’s hard to answer that. In most cases, you can just tell when a partial solve is right via visual inspection, because the sentences and phrases require very few edits to finalize. They will have more "high order structure" to them, such as properly applied grammatical rules. Most solvers maximize the resemblance of "low order structure" (ngrams and words) to real language. So recognizable words and small phrases will often appear in a false solution. But if someone ran the false solution through a grammatical parser or some other measurement of high order structure, it would score very low.
Solvers can try to correct for this by supporting larger ngram statistics, as Jarlve has done by generating 6-gram and 7-gram statistics. But it gets challenging as you get higher, because of the storage and memory requirements imposed by such large sets of data. But, I think there’s another tradeoff with larger ngrams, since it may be harder to hillclimb with such large "building blocks". For example, on your way to reaching a valid, large ngram (such as a 7- or 8-gram), you will encounter valid, small ngrams (such as a 4- or 5-gram). It may help the solver to look for the small ngrams (smaller structure) while looking for the large ones (larger structure), so the "hill" it’s climbing might be a bit smoother.
