I believe the answer is

1)              la djak. prami gi'e sinma vau la djil.

This is certainly permitted, by rule:
bridi-tail<50> = bridi-tail-1
        [gihek [stag] KE # bridi-tail /KEhE#/ tail-terms] ...

giving the parse:
({la djak} {<prami VAU> gi'e <sinma vau> <[la djil] VAU>})

This parse does not make it explicit that the effect of the 'vau' is to
group the two selbri before attaching the remoi sumti, but I believe
that is the case.

Another solution:

2) la djak. la djil. prami gi'e sinma

Note also that
3) la djak. prami je sinma la djil.
is not the same as
4) la djak. prami jo'u sinma la djil.
or
5) la djak. prami joi sinma la djil.

It's not easy to grasp the difference among these - I would use '-cum-' for
4) or 5). I know you cannot formally export a 'je', but I would
nevertheless tend to understand  3) as having very much the same meaning
as 1) and 2).
