I found a citation for keeping the space after the first hyphen and "and" (removing it would concatenate a noun and a conjunction).
from the Chicago Manual of Style:
If two phrasal adjectives end in a common element, the ending element should appear only with the second phrase, and a suspension hyphen should follow the unattached words to show that they are related to the ending element: middle- and upper-class operagoers. But if two phrasal adjectives begin with a common element, a hyphen is usually inappropriate, and the element should be repeated: left-handed and left-brained executives.
