German doesn't apply, alas, even if the first is grammatical but unclear. Mato's tp is, I think grammatical, but admittedly unclear. But most cases of modifiers with any break from the standard format are unclear: three words after 'pi' for example.
sitelen e seme
'pi' needs at least two content words after it, so 'pi nimi' won't do, unless you are suggesting a change to deal with this situation, as your second form suggests ('pi' has to come after a noun phrase).
