Boule crossing other lanes

In the English translation of the new rules adopted in Grenoble in September, Article 18 makes reference to a boule becoming dead, "...when, on marked terrains, the boule completely crosses more than one of the lanes alongside the lane in use."

Does this mean, "... completely crosses more than one [meaning at least two]of the lanes alongside the lane in use."?

Or, what I believe to be more likely, "...completely crosses more than [the space occupied by] one of the lanes alongside the lane in use"?

It's interesting to me how many statements can be interpreted in more than one [meaning at least two!] way[s].
