I don’t speak dutch but a language descendant from it and I completely understand how it would be broken down that way.

Effectively I would pronounce honderdduizend as 4 quick syllables.

Again do not speak dutch and translate the same work into my languages pronunciation which I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t almost identical. “Honderd duisend” if you are interested.
