The parameter is "to add one not impossible thing to the scene" or to provide for "a lucky break in the activity one is partaking off". You know, basically what it says in the Advantage itself.
Add this to:
"For instance I never allow Serendipity to be a "free gimme", but a rather circumstance shift to allow a roll to 'get them out of or decrease trouble'. Or, in 'Serendipity situations' where they are already getting a roll, a use of Serendipity gives them a maximum roll (Frex if faced with a Scavenging roll for find rations and water)."
... and it should be pretty clear at this point?

...or (2) how you figure out what -20% Limitation worth of problems should remain after use of Limited Serendipity.

Same way I would for every other not explicitly defined parameter in a roleplaying (which is quite a lot), by what feels right for the game.

Because the GM says so.
