You can try with
\newunicodechar{·}{·\nobreak\hspace{0pt}}
Thus the MIDDLE DOT will typeset itself, there will no line break
after it and the \hspace{0pt} allows the following word to be
hyphenated. You can't control the number of letters before the
hyphen, but (Xe)TeX is generally not abundant with hyphens.
Note that you can use the defined character in the second argument
as itself, this is a felicitous consequence of the implementation of
\newunicodechar. :)
