Indeed. This is again a problem of English, not Klingon.

The gloss for {leS} says "days from now", but if it were more precise,
it should have been "1 day from now, (plural) days from now", or maybe
"day(s) from now" - and that would have looked really awkward.

(especially for "one day from now", people would ask "why didn't he just
write tomorrow?")

The TKD word list has entries for {wa'leS} "tomorrow" and {cha'leS} "day after tomorrow", as well as {wa'Hu'} "yesterday" and {cha'Hu'} "day before yesterday", establishing by example that {leS} and {Hu'} can mean singular "day" or plural "days", despite the simplified gloss of "days from now" and "days ago".
