Arabic term or phrase: وإن نزل واحد كان أو أكثر
من توفى وله أولاد ابن مات أبوهم قبله أو معه وجبت فـي مالـه لأولاد الابـن ولأولاد ابن الابن وإن نزل واحد كان أو أكثر وصية بمقدار ما كان يرثه أبـوهم عن أصله المتوفى على فرض حياته إذا كان لا يزيد عن ثلث التركة ، فإن زاد لا يدفع لهم إلا الثلث وصية واجبة

English translation:and his descendents, be it one or more
Explanation:
Hello Adam,
(وإن نزل) here it means: and the sons of the grandson and his descendents.

in other words: the heritage is applicable down to the last son in the lineage

correction: I would use this: "down to the last son in the lineage, be it one or more " because according to your text, the heritage seems to be applicable to the descendants of the son (not the daughter) so you have to reflect that.
Also, it is applicable to the descendants of the son(s), and this is important.This would replace "be it one or more".

  -> Thank you, Samaa

agree  Randa Farhat: Certainly yes, but the descendents of the son may also be female, that is why it says أولاد الابن ولأولاد ابن الابن , so it includes daughters of 'sons', and daughters of 'grandsons'// Sorry Madleen:) I added this for the asker as additional to your input

  -> Yes, but I mean that the heritage applies to the children (boys and girls) of the son not of the daughter
