As you say, the problem is that *{le da poi ...} is not
grammatical in Lojban. One way around it is to use {broda}
instead of {da} for the dummy variable:

le broda poi na cumki fa le nu da pensi le nu de zmadu ke´a
"The thingy such that it is not possible that there is
someone that thinks that there is something greater than IT."

This gives you the full properties of {le} and also lets
you use the restrictive clauses with the quantification
scopes at the right level.
