I've changed comments as you proposed, but I've added missing "not" and left "Can":

/* Can any range from range_box not extend to the right side of the query? */
/* Can any range from range_box not extend to the left side of the query? */

See also comments on overhigher and overlower operators from documentation:

&<    Does not extend to the right of?
&>    Does not extend to the left of?

Yes, it will make sense, but the Kyotaro's test case doesn't work for me and
I still don't know how to force SP-GiST to create inner leaves without
inserting hundreds of rows.
