Thanks for the tip. The non-breaking space worked, but I don't think I will be using it for this project since there are no spaces in the paper book, and I try to be as faithful to the source as possible. the ragged-right justification didn't alter anything though. Have I misunderstood something, or isn't ragged-right justification the same as plain ol' left justification?

You could also try a non-breaking zero-width space (word joiner), & #8288;, after each hyphen, but you'll probably be in the same situation if the font has no definition for it.

The zero-width space sounds scary, especially since most of my project using special characters like thinspace and equal has ended up with the reader not being able to render the content properly. So the less I have of these, the more happy I am. I will go for the non-breaking hypen then, and hope it renders properly.
Of course I would not take my death of it if I had to cope with linebreak in the middle of this sequence of letters, but I find it looks more pleasing it I can keep it on one line, even though there will probably by, as you pointed out, more white spece on the line when the entire sequence is shifted to the next line
