Could 10000 be shortened even more to just "se gei vo", where both the coefficient, 1, and the base, 10, are assumed? 

Just "gei vo" (or "vei gei vo" if you want to use it as a quantifier), no "se", since the exponent is the first argument. 

When operators are used in forethought mode (which you have to do in the case of "gei" if you want to use all three arguments or just one, because the infix form and reverse Polish notation form can only be used with exactly two arguments), the operand that follows the operator is the first argument, it's not like with selbri. So it's "gei vo", "gei vo boi pa" or "gei vo boi pa boi pa no boi" for 1x10^4;
