I had not realized that particular ambiguity, although I certainly should have seen it. It will take quite a bit of rewriting, but I will find a notation that eliminates the ambiguity. Of course, I mean for that expression to recurse to α(3,α(3,4)). Perhaps it is enough to put a symbol before the superscript so that it is clearly not a numerical exponent? Something like α(3/2,4). Should I do the same with subscripts to avoid confusion with base-n numbers? Something like α(3\2,4)? So would α(3\2/2,4) then clearly represent α(3\2,α(3\2,4))?
