Of what you listed, these are rightly flagged:
* few in number
* religious in nature
* autocratic in nature,
Removing the 2nd and 3rd token wouldn't cause any lost of meaning.

Thanks!
Yes, this is much better but we also match:
rich in color
few in number
possible in Nature,
corresponding in number
religious in nature
efficient in shape
autocratic in nature,
equal in size
beautiful in color,
next in size
Out of 16 matches on Brown corpus, the useful ones were "brown in
color","tawny in color", "two in number". I added the adjectives above
as additional exceptions and we'll see how it performs. I'm not sure
about 'few'. We'll probably see more matches in the nightly diff today.
