I proposed something similar here:
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/BPFK+Section%3A+Inexact+Numbers

Two adjacent simple quantifiers are interpreted, when possible, as if
joined with .e:

ro ci broda
all three brodas, all brodas and three brodas.

rau su'o mu broda
enough at least five brodas, enough brodas and at least five brodas.

su'o ci su'e bi broda
at least three at most eight brodas
at least three brodas and at most eight brodas
between three and eight brodas (inclusive)

Two adjacent simple quantifiers are interpreted, when joining them
with .e would give a contradiction, as if joined with .a:

me'i ci za'u ci broda
less than three more than three brodas
less than three brodas or more than three brodas
i.e. other than three brodas

mo'a du'e broda
too few too many brodas
too few brodas or too many brodas
the wrong number of brodas

mu'o mi'e xorxes
