<<2nm seperation between both ILS approaches, becoming 4nm each ILS. (Minimum)>>
Not sure what you mean?? Under certain conditions, visual separation can be provided so aircraft can be much closer than 2nm. Normal final approach separation varies from 2.5nm upwards, depending on weather, wake turbulence and other considerations.

Generally they're 6 miles apart between successive aircraft which equates to around 3miles diagonal spacing between the left and right traffic.
The spacing may be increased further on the departure runway to facilitate getting departures away, this is generally prevelant on 09R due to the lack of high speed turnoffs meaning aircraft take longer to vacate.
