A bridge tuplet is a tuplet that bridges a tuplet to either another tuplet or the main grid. The thing that makes this kind of tuplet so strange is that the denominator is made up of different lenghts of beats.
Every bridge tuplet along with whatever it's bridging can technically be thought of as a giant nested tuplet, but that can end up getting messy very quickly, so it's usually optimal to put it down as a bridge tuplet if you can choose between the two.
