I rather suspect that the generalised elliptic scaling factor is a continuous function, so the answer may be a bit boring. For any infinite series with a finite sum I would be able to give you an ellipse (indeed, probably an infinite number of ellipses) whose scaling factor is a rational multiple of the sum.
