Also how accurate is this test? Is it possible a witch could somehow evade this test to evade detection?

From my understanding, the V you described might mean that there was random negative energy near you was somehow cleared. Maybe you did a cleansing? Regardless if you did a cleansing or not, then I would go with what the majority of the matches showed you. The matches that were far apart means that you're free and clear of anything being cast at you, or directed towards you by conscious effort from someone.

Also, you should have only two matches in the bowl at any one time. Any more than that can mess up the reading.

I'm not sure what you're asking about evading detection. What you're trying to determine is if some spell is on you. The match test is a form of divination, as in there's no energy being sent out to a target so won't alert another witch of what you're doing.

If you want to dig deeper into what the matches are trying to tell you, you can always use your favourite divination system like tarot, a pendulum, etc.
