As I understand it, you need either a space after the brivla, or to
indicate stress explicitly.

Exactly.

 {nelcitavlado} is otherwise one long
brivla (although I'm not sure it makes any sense interpreted as such;
maybe it could be a Stage 4 fu'ivla?) since the consonant pair {lc}
marks the word as a brivla, and only a space, a pause or an explicit
stress indication can mark the end of the brivla (Chapter 4 Section
3).  The default stress rule would apply and so it would be pronounced
as {nelcitavLAdo}.

Yes. Anything of brivla form that remains after removing gismu and lujvo
forms, is a fu'ivla form.

(Defining "brivla form" is slightly more complicated than just looking for
consonant clusters: you have to remove any leading cmavo forms and
exclude "slinku'i"-foms as well.)
