Yes, of course, you are right. I went through the trouble to generate shiny new 
hash for testing purposes:

bigcrypt:
hash123:f8.SVpL2fvwjkAnxn8/rgTkwvrif6bjYB5c

can be disassembled as follows:
hash1:f8.SVpL2fvwjk
hash2:.SAnxn8/rgTkw
hash3:Anvrif6bjYB5c

The actual password is: "This is very long passwd" (w/o quotes :)
