v) distance-based wake turbulence separation minima in 8.7.3.4, or as may be prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority (e.g. for specific aircraft types), do not apply;
Not that well written, is it?
It means you have to apply the wake turbulence separation, if required, or where not required and approval is given to use 2.5 miles, you may use 2.5 miles.
As for the parallel runways, I'll leave that for someone who knows. I suspect that if the rwys are less than 760M apart, they are to be treated as one rwy for separation purposes.
