<snip plural stuff>
You're defining things too tightly, I think. "Many" and "few" often vary
greatly between cultures and individuals. I might use "few" with fifty
people if I frequently encounter several hundred people at once, or three
as "many" if I rarely encounter more than one.
Other than that, go for it. However, I wouldn't count on multiple plurals
lasting long.
