Handling multiple x's is trivial, just add a counter. Download rnv
from http://davidashen.net/rnv.html; rnc.c is a compact syntax
parser, including tokenizer. 

'struct rnc_source' contains 'int nx', which the counter of x's in
the current escape sequence. If \ followed by x+ is followed by curly
braces, it is folded and unescaped. If it is not, then x's are counted
and returned that many times. Look at rnc.c:getv(struct rnc_source *sp)
