So in DTD notation, which is easier to work with in cases like this,
your original is
( (admin, error?)* , deviceTypeInfo*, error? )
I fear this is effectively equivalent to the known-to-be-inexpressable
in a valid DTD content model chess-game problem, i.e. (w, b)* , w?
If the semantics are as they appear to be (I'm just guessing), the
most appropriate solution is to introduce a wrapper:
( (admin, error?)* , extra? )
extra: ( deviceTypeInfo*, error? )
