Nevertheless, though, a screen reader will probably render it as gibberish.

I wouldn’t add any spaces. That’s a deliberate decision by the author and I think it would be wrong to change it. The text to speech chips will just have to fall where they may I’m afraid.
There’s nothing to prevent you from putting a scanner’s note in brackets before the text begins mentioning that this occurs though so that readers know that it’s not sloppy scanning or proofreading. And definitely put that into the Comments section when you submit the book so the proofreader doesn’t “correct” them.

[scanner's note: This book contains many segments where whole sentences are run together as a single word. This is intended to indicate something done at a frantic pace. I left these as they are, per the usual instructions, but I wonder how well that will work in text to speech.
Also, the OCR made the word I into the number 1 in many cases. I fixed all that I noticed, but there could still be some.]
