Im not good explaining this in english so excuse me... :)

Ciphers like AES use CBC, CFB, etc. modes to kinda "re-key" the
encryption key for the next block to be encrypted to avoid ECB mode
which is not that secure. But how can one do the same thing with
paper&pencil ciphers easily and securely?

Im planning one encryption method that combines homophone encryption
(substitution) with Vigenere, shuffle and substitution. I have tought
about using 16*16bit blocks and re-keying the keys (2 Vigenere and 2
shuffle) between every block. But how? Should I XOR the previous
plaintext to Vigenere keys? XOR the previous ciphertext to Vigenere
keys? How?
