Is there anyway to look up more than 4 words at a times somehow (perhaps through jailbreaking)? I tried searching for this but there doesn't seem to be any existing discussion on this anywhere.

For more than 4 words, you can use Translate feature (if kindle is connected to internet). It is not clear to me why you’d expect a good dictionary result even with 3 or 4 words, as an arbitrary phrase is not likely to appear in a dictionary.
