What is the max number of kanji a jukugo can be made of?


So far I haven't seen any jukugo with more than 4 kanji. Is this a limit? Or
some of them are made of more than 4 kanji?

Also, I've seen jukugo made of other jukugo. Like 高速道路 is composed with two
other jukugo: 高速 and 道路. What if a jukugo would need to be composed with other
jukugo, but those smaller jukugo would sum up to more than 4 characters? Is
this something that happened when the language was formed? What happens then?




I searched for your question on the net. 朝鮮民主主義人民共和国(Democratic People's
Republic of Korea) is a string of 11 kanji and it is comparatively well known.

外航船舶建造融資利子補給臨時措置法 is a string of 17 kanji. It is the law about the promotion
in the Japanese shipping industry. I saw this for the first time and I think
it is very little known.
