(1) new expressions such as
(2) a new expression such as
(1) new expressions such as A, B, andC.
(2) a new expression such as A.
My understanding is correct? If you put expressions(=the plural) before such as, you are supposed to have more than one example, while if you
put an expression(=the singular), you are supposed to have only one example? Or you can use both interchangeably?

I guess the norm would be to use "new expressions such as A, B and C" and "a new expression such as A". However, "new expressions such as A" also seems feasible to me. "a new expression such as A, B and C" doesn't sound right, but of course you can use "a new expression such as A, B or C".
