There's only one level of precedence with "bo". If you want more, use "ke".
".i broda .ija'eke brode .iseri'abo brodi" parses, but "ke" is implicitly
terminated just after "brode". I suggest ".ikeja'e", which currently doesn't
parse.

And your first suggestion doesn't give the desired parse. It has ja'e as a tag in front of a selbri (thus the ku doesn't appear as elided) and ke simply acting as a tanru-bracket.

In the case of sentence-connectives, the brackets are tu'u..tu'e.
