Can "a four-room or smaller flat" replace "a four-room flat or smaller"?

Lastly, four-room flats likely benefited from a government regulation that took effect in September 2022. Owners who sold their private residential property will have to wait 15 months before they can purchase a resale HDB flat. However, the wait time is reduced to six months for seniors aged 55 years and above who plan to purchase a four-room flat or smaller.

Can “a four-room or smaller flat” replace “a four-room flat or smaller”?

Thanks.

No.
It should be: “a four-room flat or a smaller one.”!
