No, that would be

   (selector4) > selector3 > selector2 > selector1

I think an earlier proposal was to use ! in front of the selector, like this:

   !selector4 > selector3 > selector2 > selector1

which I think is easier to type and understand (it's not a nesting idea,
it's a "mark this thing here" idea).

I'm not sure what you meant, exactly. If you meant "a b that is {a descendant
of an li which is a child of an ol} and that has a span.test:hover as a
descendant" then

   ol > li !b span.test:hover
