Is the " an" token the only way GPT-2 will ever produce the string " an"? Or will it sometimes combine separate " a" "n" tokens? I suppose separate tokens like that won't be seen in the input str

The long (=great) hundred is 120, while the long thousand is 1200. It seems pretty understanding, so I wonder if anyone ever needed to use a long hundred thousand and worked out what that was supposed to be.
