 Solution

Set $d_0=0$ and assume $0<d_1<\cdots <d_m<n$. Choose the first member of the flag manifold as a $d_1$-plane, contributing $d_1(n-d_1)$ complex dimensions. After choosing $L_{i-1}$, choose $L_i/L_{i-1}$ as a $(d_i-d_{i-1})$-plane in $V/L_{i-1}$. Its Grassmannian has dimension $(d_i-d_{i-1})(n-d_i)$. Adding these fiber dimensions givesFor $V={\mathbb{C}}^4$ the results areHere $F_1={\mathbb{CP}}^3$ is projective twistor space, $F_2=\mathrm{Gr}(2,4)$ is complexified compactified Minkowski space, and $F_{12}$ is the twistor correspondence space of incident pairs consisting of a spacetime point and a twistor on its twistor line. Over $F_2$ its fiber is ${\mathbb{CP}}^1$; over $F_1$ its fiber is ${\mathbb{CP}}^2$, consistent with $4+1=3+2=5$. These are complex dimensions; the underlying real dimensions are $6,8,10$, while a real spacetime slice of $F_2$ has real dimension four.
