"where can I find the official interpretation that clarifies this"

Depending upon your interpretation and acceptance of "the official interpretation", I belive "The 2002 BRD" (Baseball Rule Differences) Pg 183 *348, does a good job of explaining this.

Note ,there is no penalty for not dropping the hands to the sides after disengaging. I am not sure if there is a penalty for engaging the rubber without both hands to the side however, "prior to coming to a set position, the pitcher shall have one hand on his side'. OBR 8.01

BRD states that it is a "Don't do that" pitching infraction, according to OBR. Therefore it may be a balk with runners on base. Mabey someone else can help out here?
