I understand the scope rules to be such that an unbound {da} rises to the first prenex, becoming bound to a quantifier placed there. Prenexes occur in two syntactical constructions: statement, and subsentence. {da broda .i da brode} consists of two statements, so each gets one quantifier. {da broda .i je da brode} is one statement, with one quantifier.
