Thanks for the reply and the assistance, greatly appreciated. I'll see if I can sort out your examples and put it to practical use.
One question, Are the words combined right inside of Hashcat via this part of the command (--stdout t.dic t.dic | tee t2.dic) as I think. For example if I wanted Hashcat to try with four words than I'd use --stdout t.dic t.dic t.dic or am I way off base with that thought?
By the way yes the words in the password are more than likely common English words.
