According 
to http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=BPFK+Section%3A+gadri
{lo PA broda} means {zo'e noi ke'a broda gi'e zilkancu li PA lo broda}.
How is it "some unspecified number of PA broda"?

Maybe your version is logical, but not practical. You usually don't talk 
about some unspecified number of five cows, so making it a default option 
is weird.
