Conditional lign up clearance behind departing traffic

Besides the obvious „lign up“ (no other aircraft on the runway) or „lign up behind departing traffic“ (which implies to wait until the aircraft moves) clearances, I get the e.g „<callsign> behind the Airbus xxx, lign up“ or „ <callsign> lign up in sequence“ with the Airbus in question still ligning up in front of me or holding on the runway. With the clearance given, at what point may I cross the holding point line ( red stop bar lights are off)? Even before the aircraft on the runway moves if I judge there is sufficient space or strictly wait until the traffic ahead starts its take-off run? For example, in EBBR with crossing pair of runway in use (01 LDGs/ 07R DEPs) they usually have several aircraft ligned up on the same runway, using all the same holding point, to allow expeditious traffic departures. Any comments welcome!

That is fine if you can judge that the spacing is sufficient to line-up behind this traffic and not get blown off the runway as it departs. At busy airports this could even be appreciated as it in some cases can increase the runway utilization efficiency!
