did you mean 4 distinct example passwords? The list somehow made this
into 1 long string, which is indeed very hard to bruteforce, but as
distinct passwords this comes closer to the realm of doable (your first
password seems to have 19 chars instead of 18?)

ss15-vyp1wh1k1qeh82
sm20-4d44qfek1zjnv
sm26-hp3iibat127n6
sm27-n6fqycthh3mcd

In this case you could try

./john -2='?d?l' --mask='s[sm]?d?d-?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2?2 hash.txt

This will probably still take way to long to crack since you still have 2*10*10*36**13 combinations, but more passwords might give you more structure to encompass in the rule. e.g. in the first 3 char 14 is always a '1'?

The masking is just an encoding of your discovered rule, very straightforward on the command line.

See a recent john's manual for MASK: https://fossies.org/linux/john/doc/MASK
