Apply some sort of Huffman-encoding type scheme to at least morphemes (= possibly to morpheme strings). Possibly temper this by the desirability of = having some sort of phonosemantic patterning among morphemes, for mnemonic = purposes.

That's not be the end of my advice, but it'd be the key bits.

HOWEVER, I think that a LoCCan3 that did that would still not be good e= nough, and I don't see much point in investing a lot of effort into creatin= g a language whose design is miles better than Lojban's but is still not fi= t for purpose. (I suppose that if future research were to show that the fun= damental loglang problem is insoluble, then one would after all want the be= st possible LoCCan version, as the language least unfit for purpose.) = ;To apprehend the fundamental loglang problem, imagine Lojban without {zo'e= }, and then try to think how it could be redesigned to avoid being impossib= ly longwinded and impossibly taxing on the memory of (especially) the heare= r/reader.

Quite so. Since simplex brivla (gismu) would already have maximally sho= rt forms, complex brivla (lujvo) would be necessary only when the forms wer= e not semantically compositional, i.e. when the meaning of the whole is not= completely predictable from the meaning of the parts. The morphological tr= anslucence (semicompositionality) of lujvo would serve a merely mnemonic pu= rpose.

For the reasons given above, rafybri would be redundant in a well-desig= ned loglan. Or, to put it a different way, a well designed loglan would use= something akin to rafybri as its basic device.
