Yup, I expect so.

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

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.]
