But when I see/hear "banjubu'o", I don't stop at "ban..."; immediately
"...jubu'o" comes to break the searching process. And why should the
brain start the analysis upon perceiving the first component rather
than its combination with the following component(s)?

And unless 1) I recognise every one of those 7,000 words, 2) I fail to
grasp the context, and 3) I fail to catch the latter part of the word
in question, "banjubu'o" is not so much a problem for me.
