You can do it with three symbols:

  1. Dot: 10
  2. Dash: 1110
  3. Gap: 00

The long gap between words is just three short gaps.

There's a Vsauce video about this: https://youtu.be/HY_OIwideLg

Looks right, but would that not already be optimized?

Not sure what you mean by optimized.

Optimized to use less symbols by combining them (long gap between words is just three short gaps). I also think if a sentence ends, there would be the unnessecary 0 from the dots and Dashes at the end.
