As a note, while, as others have mentioned, it's non-idiomatic, and dropped in casual speech would come across as a trifle awkward, it -can- be made tenable in sufficiently florid prose that is clearly intended to be delivered verbally.
That is, while "some few" is ungainly, pausing and delivering it as though 'few' is reinforcing or clarifying 'some' (through a change in tone or similar) would sound a little archaic, perhaps, but completely natural.
