Welcome Keith,
The hypothesis is actually two complete recognitions according to your ruleset (RuleORama can return more than one complete rule-conforming utterances in a single hypothesis if they were uttered). The reason that it doesn’t correspond to your real utterance is because for performance reasons, RuleORama doesn’t support optional repetitions, so it reduces them to a single repetition. This is mentioned in the docs and the verbose logging, but it’s the kind of small detail it’s easy to accidentally overlook when you’re first getting started. So, the answer is that there is nothing wrong with your ruleset, but your optionals are silently turning into single repetitions only.
