The way the dictionary is written precludes the possibility of having more than one example for a given entry.

If there is more than one example then there will have to be some way to align them between languages. :(

Yes, that's the limitation. Perhaps a way around this would be something like the following:

<e>
   <l lang="chv">...</l>
   <l lang="eng">...</l>
   <exs>
      <ex>
         <l lang="chv">Чӑваш чӗлхи йывар-и?</l>
         <l lang="eng">Is Chuvash hard?</l>
         <l lang="kir">Чуваш тили оорбу?</l>
         <l lang="kir">Чуваш тили кыйынбы?</l>
         <l lang="kir">Чуваш тили катуубу?</l>
      <ex>
      <ex>...</ex>
   </exs>
</e>

Perhaps even without the exses.
