Not valid, because in Englishn main words do not get just glued together this way like it is being done in German. It is a unique feature in German language, the linguists say, but I cannot serve you with the formal explicit rules and explanations. Your word construction above is not valid in your language, you would write it in split main words, if you would be even using that term (or more likely, you would find some fluid abbreviation that can be spoken like a word instead of letters, American English is known for this speciality). The German version is not faked, but absolutely conformal with the German rules.
I think I recall that the Fins do something similiar, just adding words together until they grew longer and longer, but there was some difference to German nevertheless. Maybe Dowly will explain.
