Hi Bob:
How about this:
=============================================
f1=Length[#[[1,1]]]>2&;
f2=Length[#[[3,1]]]>4&;
test=
        ToExpression[
                StringJoin[
                        StringReplace[ToString[f1 || f2], "&"->" "],"&"]];
mylist={{{1,2,3},1},{1,2},{4,5}};
test[mylist]
=============================================
Out: True
In the above, I constructed the compound test f1 || f2, converted it to a
string, took out the "&" everywhere, put the "&" back in at the end, then
converted everything back into an expression.  The final "test" seems to do
what you want.
Cheers,
Des
