I would go with 0.5 to a 1.0.  You will need to break down every iteration
into separate rules to make this work.  There are no accumulation rules.  So
even if you had x number of instances of a match, you would only get one
score not one score matching x times.  So in the end you will wind up having
the score of the rule, not score multiplied by x.  You probably saw Jennifer
Wheelers rules for testing this.  I'll send you a copy if you did not see
them.
