if that
Perhaps even fewer
A phrase that introduces doubt about what was just said, suggesting the actual situation may be less than stated: He'll be gone a week, if that—meaning possibly less than a week.
It functions as a skeptical qualifier, hedging a claim downward: She's five feet tall, if that.
Sometimes appears as if even that for stronger doubt.
