still less of the probable shortness of your futur
If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical fact of the number of years you have already lived, still less of the probable shortness of your future.
1、still less of the probable shortness of your future是修饰the number of years，作定语吗？
2、教材上说这半句省略了，（you have）still less （reason to think ）of the probable shortness of your future。是这样吗？那关系代词在从句中做什么成分？

网友可以查词典，几乎每本词典都收录了这个词组。
still less：更不用说；更何况。 常用于否定句后。
例如：
He is not a scholar, still less a poet.
他不是一个学者，更不是一个诗人。
We fear no death, still less difficulties.
我们死都不怕，何况困难。
【注意】有时，后面接of 是承前省略了有关成导致的。例如：
He knows little of mathematics, and still less of chemistry.
他几乎不懂数学，更不用说化学了。
教材上说这半句省略了，（you have）still less （reason to think ）of the probable shortness of your future。是这样吗？那关系代词在从句中做什么成分？
【答】是的。但是没有定语从句，自然就没有关系代词的说法。

If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical fact of the number of years you have already lived,(you will have省略) still less(reason to think省略) of the probable shortness of your future.
参考译文：如果你拥有广泛的、自己钟爱的兴趣和活动，又能从中体会自己老当益壮，你就没有理由从那些只有在统计学中才有意义的数字上考虑生命已经度过多少春秋，更没有理由想到自己的未来人生也许/可能很短暂。
think of the probable shortness of your future=想到你未来人生可能很短暂。
