I feel like *loS latlh jaj* or *latlh loS jaj* are both fine options, I
don't really feel like there's a significant distinction in meaning. Until
Okrand gives some direction that Klingons tend to prefer one phrasing over
another, or that one phrasing is out-and-out wrong, I think it's fine to
just leave it up to personal choice for now. Are there many instances of a
number used with one member of a N-N construction that could help here?
