That's distributive, except for the {lo canlu be}, which is distributive in the {canlu} bridi. I think the whole point of this discussion is that this isn't a distributive phenomenon.

It is fine as it is, but I guess the intended meaning is "the vehicle was a thousand times bigger than each rat", while it means something like "1001 times bigger", since zmadu4 is the difference.
This is irrelevant for big inexact numbers, but what if I wanted to say, e.g., "three times bigger"? Would I have to say {bramau fo lo pilji be li re}? What about "three times smaller"? Should I use logarithms?
For round numbers, we have gismu like {kilto}, so we can say, e.g.{lo marce cu braki'o ro lo smacu}. What about other numbers? Can we devise a lujvo schema?mu'o
