Oct 22, 2019 at 15:12 comment added Edwin Ashworth This doesn't sound too bad in speech, where you compartmentalise [secondhighestrated] and [4star]. The way to do this if transcribing is to use hyphens as in your first example. But if you're not transcribing speech verbatim, go with Jason's or Littletee's rewrite. There's a useful quasi-rule somewhere about avoiding unwieldy stacked modifiers.
