The first 3 letters are unique for the English seed words, so you just need to encode 25*3 = 75 letters.
I also think it is worth writing them down in a way that is not obviously a crypto address. You can place 75 letters in a 9x9 square (with maybe some extra dummy letters) that looks like a common word puzzle, eg sudoku or crossword, in a specific order, eg a spiral. You can custom print a template or copy one from eg https://puzzlestream.com/sudoku/blank-grid.php .
Great idea! yes throwing in random and arbitrary letters can strengthen the encryption. Something I was thinking about was replacing spaces with "-[random text]-"
Example:
sdfsdf-iuocbff-oiurwqx-afewef-gupioue
So the true encrypted text would be sdfsdf oiurwqx gupioue with -iuocbff- -afewef- representing spaces.
