I dont follow this... now I'm trying (for once!) not to jump on this issue to quick..

This is confusing the wording and basically saying "since the pitch doesnt start until the hands are separated (after bringing them together), she can bounce all around until her hands DO separate.

negative on that. You cannot do that. You have preliminary, start of pitch, and delivery. Each category is separate and distinct. If during her motion to deliver the ball, she crow hops/steps/jumps/leaps/hops, that is illegal. If she has an odd delivery technique which some how blends the 3 and is a legal delivery technique, that doesnt make it suddenly legal to crow hop/leap/step etc.
