The single `*` at the head of the table in the RVR column (The reported RVR value representative of the initial part of the take-off run can be replaced by pilot assessment) could be interpreted as applying to all the cases given, including the 125m scenario?
Yes.
The argument I prefer goes as follows: The logic is the RVR measuring device is not located on the runway, it is probably 50m to the side over the grass. Thus there could be a discrepancy between what is being measured / reported, and what the pilot can actually see from the flight deck. Therefore before we start the take off, we are allowed to asses the initial part of the take off run ourselves (by counting the lights) and may replace the touch down reported value.

There was a typo several years ago which seemed to exclude RVR 125m - but that has now been corrected.
