Relative clauses should care about the main bridi, because the bridi in relative clauses share their universe of discourse with the main bridi. About this example of fragment, I said only "logically meaningless", but it does not bring any problem by itself. 

The problem occurs in the case that plural relative clauses appears with their own prenex, sometimes nested in logical connectives. Which prenex is the outmost? How can the negations, numbers and logical connectives are transformed into a prenex normal form?

I don't understand what you mean. Could you give an example where you find a prenex in a relative clause problematic? In general, a prenex in a non-restrictive relative clause cannot be exported to the main bridi prenex:

   ro da zo'u da prami la alis noi no de zo'u ke'a prami de
   = ro da zo'u da prami la alis .i ta'o no de zo'u la alis prami de
   =/= ro da no de zo'u da prami la alis .i je la alis prami de
