By trying it out and seeing what the difference is, perchance?
Actually, \large and \small aren't the best choices here as they work
{\large{}operate on this} rather than \large{make this bigger}.
Doing so, the above example becomes
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
%% Attempting to do this
%% \large{\small{xxx\large{nnn}xxx}}
{\large{\small{}xxx{\large{}nnn}xxx}}
%% Attempting to do this
%% \large{\small{xxx}nnn\small{xxx}}
{\large{\small{}xxx}nnn{\small{}xxx}}
\end{document}
To my eyes the two are identical, but I'm sure that André can produce
something that isn't.
