If you are only needing it to work on the given document then
I think in
general for two element nodes, the shortest relative Xpath
can always be
expressed in the form
xxx::*[n]
Do you want the shortest XPath expression, or the XPath expression whose
evaluation touches fewest nodes?
following-sibling::*[5]/child::*[2]
or
following::*[29]
?
