I think for you it's okay to use them in order to keep long sentences
cut apart, but it confuses me.
I believe it can be useful for advanced beginners to put one in long
sentences like {qaStaHvIS wa' ram loSSaD Hugh SIjlaH qetbogh loD}
between {qaStaHvIS wa' ram} and {loSSaD Hugh SIjlaH qetbogh loD}.

I'll tell that to my english teacher next time we write an exam: "I
liked the expression, so I used it." :-) I think it's wrong, but I
have no proof. Let's leave it to the advanced among us.

Right. Because I didn't understand the process clearly... but there are
many people here that are much smarter than me, so go ahead ;-)
