1) HATINA here carries over the "ALLA POLLA" into the EAN clause: "which, if they were written
one by one" (or something like that);
2) Isn't TON KOSMON the accusative of reference functioning as the subject of CWRHSAI for indirect
discourse?
3) OIMAI is not an infinitive, but a first-person middle form: "it seems to me" (lexical form
OIOMAI).
Added up, I make the phrase something like this (hyperliterally): "Not the world itself (it seems to
me) has room for the books that would be written."
Grace and peace,
