what exactly does it mean to recite while breaking up the words?

can you recite a whole surah this way?

is it reciting one word at a time with a couple of seconds gap between each word?

Reciting ayahs of the Quran by breaking up the words is not permitted for everyone. The fiqhi books mention that this is permitted for a 'teacher of the Quran' only and this is to avoid interruptions to the learning of her students. It is not a general ruling for any menstruating woman who wants to recite the Quran. Therefore, a person who is not a teacher should not apply this ruling to herself.

For a woman who is not a teacher of the Quran, she should just not recite at all during those few days of the month. It's not too difficult to do. If she's a student and participating in a class, she can listen in but not recite herself. If she is in a habit of reciting Quran every day, then she should substitute with other azhkaar for those few days. If she is a hafidha, she can listen to others recite during those days. I know quite a few sisters who have managed to complete and remember their hifdh in this way without too much difficulty.
