Neither seems like a very helpful answer to a "ma" question.

I know, I was just throwing as much interesting stuff into a predicate as I could think of at the time and then saying "go'i" as a way of asking "do {ma} get repeated in a go'i?"
Based on the rest of your email, it sounds like a good rule of thumb is "read {go'i} like it's repeating only the main selbri of the previous bridi where it's places are filled with {zo'e} which usually means to assume the previous bridi's terbri(s)".
