That doesn't parse, and I'm not sure how to fix it. This does parse:

centre li pa lo'o fa'u li re lo'o fa'u li ci lo'o lo sraji ku fa'u lo pinta ku 
fa'u lo condi

The "ku", and probably the "lo'o", are not necessary with camxes, which 
doesn't have the LALR restrictions. "li pa fa'u re fa'u ci" also parses.

Since the original doesn't say which dimension is which, I'd just say "centre 
li pa fa'u re fa'u ci". BTW, "cms" is incorrect; it should be "cm".
