Don't ask me why - maybe it's related to the considerations described in the previous post.
If you have traffic landing on the outer then queueing up on to cross the inner on multiple taxiways / crossing points, you can clear them all to cross the inner after a heavy / super departure effectively closes the inner runway for a couple of minutes to smaller traffic due wake.
