FWIW, there are some cross-syllable phonological effects in Mandarin, the
most prevalent being tone sandhi and the -r suffix. Historically, a number
of syllables are considered to be formed from two-syllable words... I can't
think of examples offhand, but some can be found in Jerry Norman's Chinese.

In a China-related novel I'm reading, there's a character called Wang
Sau-Leyan. I don't know if that's a real name (it's by an English-speaking
scholar of Chinese), but the Leyan sounds like one of those to me.
