In other words, as long as 'xi' is less than 'limit' keep going
down the chain, and when 'xi' isn't less than 'limit' jump to end of
chain a continue.
if x1 < limit:
do a
if x2 < limit:
do b
if x3 < limit:
do c

That doesn't do what the OP specified. If any of the
conditions fail, it should "jump" to the end and not execute
_any_ further "do" statements regardless of the values of
subsequent conditions.
Ack -- I was aware of the lack of jump, but missed that x7 might be less
than limit even if x6 is greater -- thanks.
On the plus side, it's easy to read and understand -- on the
minus side, it doesn't jump to the end once the tests start
failing.
If all you want is easy to read and understand, then this is
event simpler:
sys.exit(0)
