Do we have a comma splice error here, or is the part ‘as long as its patterns of word and sentence structure stay intact’ a constructio apo koinu?

The sentence is taken from the book Interlingua, a grammar of the international language (1971). The intended meaning is presumably the same as if there were 'but' before 'as long as'.

Let the dictionary of a language be invaded by hordes of foreign words, as long as its patterns of word and sentence structure stay intact, the foreign material will eventually be assimilated and the basic character of the language will survive essentially unchanged.
