Anyway, Thanks for the answers.

Five consecutive one-letter words? Impossible! Gimme an actual example if such a phrase can exist. I am like: "What language are you even talking about?"
The possibilities are NOT nearly as many as you may think. 90% of the time, the key words the
particles. By spotting them, you could easily tell where the other words start and end. Studying Japanese means studying its particles.
Why do you seem so concerned about this matter now? Having read your posts, I do not even think you know so much Japanese yet. Don't start reading long sentences if you don't have the basics down.
