cmavo, the spaces are optional. So there's no sense calling them "2 words", "3 words" and "1 word" -- it's any of those depending on how you want to think about it, and 3 cmavo.
I'm pretty sure the language considers each cmavo as a separate word,
eg. for the purposes of {si} which would erase one word at a time, not
the whole unit.
