ὅσα ἂν τυγχάνῃ: however great each happen to be, i.e. to any magnitude you please.
ὥσπερ οἱ ἐν δήμῳ συγγραφόμενοι. Socrates refers to those who bring forward motions in the assembly of the people or have them recorded by the γραμματεύς to be then communicated to the assembly, at the command of the president, by the herald. If there was a previous motion either of the senate or an orator on the same subject before the body, instead of recording and reading the common preamble of both motions, the words τὰ μὲν ἄλλα καθάπερ ἡ βουλή (or whatever the name of the proposer was) were employed, followed by the modification or amendment. This corresponds in a general way to our ‘amend after the words,’ etc.
