Multiple gadri make more sense with specific {le} than with {lo}.
For example:

   so mlatu cu nenri le zdani
   "There are nine cats inside the house."

    mi viska mu le so mlatu
    "I saw five of the nine cats."

    ci le mu le so mlatu cu blabi
    "Three of the five of the nine cats were white."

And it can be done indefinitely. It's not really very useful, but it's
grammatical.
