is a 'catchall' mask possible?

[Snoopy]

if you have your basic english dictionary you could also use combinator to do something like this

combinator english.dict english.dict > two-words.dict

and combine this with the special dict

and feed this again with the single rule to hashcat, if this fails you could combine two-words.dict again with english.dict to get 3 words and so on

there is another possibility, called princeprocessor you could use to do these combinations on the fly, but i think as long as you have enough storage for your dictionaries, stick to your self generated it is much easier when it comes to command line, anyway for princeprocessor see
