I think it would be preferable to encode this as a recommended ligature of
repeatLeft and repeatRight, which I will do in a future version of
Bravura.

You might be right about this. However, the other recommended ligatures
for clefs use the tuplet digits rather than their own independent set of
digits. I don't think there is any particular requirement that a consuming
application should not have to adjust the point size of glyphs when
combining them in this way; perhaps I could add some guidelines to suggest
by how much they might need to be reduced in size, though I imagine this
could vary according to the design of individual fonts.
