le'ai on its own

How do we know that le'ai is actually occurring on its own (which, I presume, means that it has no explicit terminator) rather than just quoting an extremely long text? In Probability Theoretic language, there is no apparent stopping time.

Oops, I misunderstood. I thought lo'ai at every point even though I read or typed le'ai. Ignore me.

For the record the way I (provisionally) implemented this in camxes-exp goes like this:
(LOhAI spaces? (!LOhAI !LEhAI any_word)*)? (LOhAI spaces? (!LOhAI !LEhAI any_word)*)? LEhAI spaces?
Basically, lo'ai and sa'ai are like lo'u in that they really can't occur on their own. But zero, one or two "lo'ai *"/"sa'ai *" clauses can come before a le'ai.
