What constitutes adjacent links, that "should be separated by more than
whitespace"?
Does a </p> or <br> separate them enough in the code, or do even links in
different paragraphs need a non-link character between them?
Thanks,

Speaking from the top of my head... A </p> or <br /> is likely to be
defined as whitespace. However even a "." can be enough
With a screen reader you don't know how it is going to handle
"whitespace" .... is it going to pause? Is it going to run together?
I found this directive to be a pain at first... but now I've just gotten
into the habit of phrasing things differently ... usually not a problem
