It should say:

This format is compatible with the skippable extensions defined in
Section 1.9. It is not applicable for extensions that require more
than 254 bytes of data; for such extensions, use the format described
in Section 1.10.

Notes:

The length field is 8 bits which yields a maximum of 255 data octets.
But the length field must include one octet for the sub-type field,
yielding a maximum of 254 octets of data.
