If Portuguese (and may be other Romanian languages) can reinforce Spanish
and Bengali can do that with Hindi then what's the problem?
And a lower recognition score is just the output of the script and nothing more, just a number. But who knows, may be experimental gismu with lower recognition scores can be easier to learn then gismu based on fewer source languages?
Lower recognition means harder to learn, not easier, and you apparently missed the point, that being that any languages past the first two contribute negligibly, except in cases where their word is similar to one of those first two.
