CLDR is certainly hard when you first look at it, but "few" and "many" have a specific meaning, see http://cldr.unicode.org/index/cldr-spec/plural-rules#TOC-Choosing-Plural-Category-Names ; each locale applies it as appropriate.
There is another approach, more flexible: ICU message formats, http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/messages
I'm not sure whether CLDR has language rules with accord to these
Nowadays, ICU is mostly an interface to CLDR data. If ICU provides a library that we can use instead of elaborating CLDR data ourselves, that's of course a good thing.
