Macedonian speakers?

Dear SEELANGers,

This question is for native or near-native speakers of Macedonian.

I know that ne + clitics + verb and interrogative + clitics + verb are
treated as single stress units.  Indicating stress with capitals:  toj
ne MU reche, koj MU reche, etc.  I've also read that you can,
optionally, break these into two separate stress units:  toj NE mu REche
for example.

My question is this:  suppose you have a longer string of clitics, as in
ne sum mu go dal.  A neutral pronunciation would be ne sum mu GO dal.
But what if you wanted to break it into two stress units?  In
particular, is either of the following possible?

NE sum mu go DAL
ne SUM mu do DAL

Are there other stress possibilities?

Thanks in advance,

Katherine.
