Makes sense, got it. So if it applied to both words, the way you'd signal that is by hyphenating the previous word?

Seems so strange to just have a hyphen lying there in the middle of a phrase, but that's just my lack of familiarity.

Yes exactly! Like for example Hoch- und Tiefbau. You could still write it out: Hochbau und Tiefbau. But to me that just sounds redundant.
