My husband and I could only think of albeit, nevertheless, nonetheless, and hereinafter.  (Aaahh, an ever exciting marraige).  
Are there many others?

Insofar, inasmuch, hereinbefore, hereinto, heretofore, hereupon . . . go ask some woebegone lawyer.

Like my husband..  (though he no longer practices law; he left that profession in a hurry!)

Plainclothesman.

There are probably other -man ones… let’s see…

(quick search)

Crossbowman, backwoodsman, and highwayman all work.  I’m sure there are many more.

Whosoever, wherewithal, wheretofore ...

I can recall "whithersoever" and there’s a "whatsoever" to match that "whosoever".

thanksalot!

will you take ne’erdowell?  or must it be hyphenated?

illbegotten?  

Does whatchamacallit count as a quintuple compound word (what-you-may-call-it)?

Now here’s yet another gem from my all-time favorites: class. Latin suovetaurilia though perhaps better described as the ingratiatory sacrifice which used to comprise one each of a fastidiously hand-picked swine sus + sheep ovis + bull taurus just for this blood offering of three altogether, routinely administered in such a way as to consecrate any formal lustration or purificatory rite, albeit much too frequently done so long ago in pagan Rome!

I have been trying to think of a more accurate word to describe people who dislike or disapprove of homosexuals or homosexuality

How about “queer-bashing misopederast”?

n.b. now try our IPA |ˌmɑɪsɒpəˈdɛɹæst| pronunciation for somewhat neologic “misopederast” which systematically breaks down as follows: One primary Hellenic component miso “spiteful (of)” + other central, formative element “pederast” < original Greek description παιδεραστής our modern-day “sex offender” = noun topic παιδ of subject case παῖς “boy” + sigmatized verb stem ερασ of transitive study guide ἐράω “love” + nominative masculine suffix τής specifically denoting some culpatory figure.
