 Just realized, that's "those two warriors," but I've thought of something
 else. Technically, can't this also mean "the two of those warriors?" In
 other words, can't the meaning depend entirely on interpretation?

 No, mulegh SuvwI'pu'vetlh cha' does not mean "those two warriors."  For
that, the number, cha', must come before the noun, SuvwI'pu'.  Therefor, it
can only mean "those warriors numbered two," or, voila, "two of those
warriors."
