Not exactly. "su'oroi" is not meant as a connective here, it's meant
to tag the following selbri. "gi'e su'oroi junri sezytolzarsku" would
be fine. The problem is that the official grammar doesn't allow
"su'oroi tai" as a compound tag.

See:
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Internal+grammar+of+tags
for a proposal that would make both this and "ka'e nai" grammatical.
