Sure.

 

>   1. {ko'a mitre li papimu}

Makes sense. X is 1.5 metres.

 

>   2. {li papimu namcu}

1.5 is a number.

 

>   3. {lo se mitre cu namcu}

A number quantifying the length of an object in metres is a number.

 

>   4. {ko'a mitre lo se cacra be ko'e}

X is as many metres long as Y is hours long.

 

>   5. {la'e lo se mitre cu namcu}

The referent of the number quantifying the length of something in metres is a number.

(This is a false statement AFAIC.)

Everything except this last one makes sense to me.
