What is the rule for composing two words, when one of them is hyphenized or has spaces?

Let's imagine we have an organization named EFSMA-EE and another called EFSMA Telecom (EFSMA is an acronym).

If I want to compose these with another word (e.g. "time" - as in "full-time"), what should I do?

Just add the hyphen?

EFSMA-EE-time and EFSMA Telecom-time?
