I suspect most grammarians would say all bets are off as regards correct hyphenation if you're going to mix digits and letters in a single syntactic element like this. But for the actual word form, this NGram clearly shows that we nearly always hyphenate a three-way split, for example. And that's hardly AmE-specific. | |
