That's because it is only referring to hose stream allowance and duration. But the rooms cannot be adjacent so to break a kitchen into two 400 sq. ft rooms would mean there would have to be a room of lesser hazard between them. Doubt you're going to be able to break up a kitchen that way and make it still work. Plus that reference doesn't mean you can change the occupancy to a lesser occupancy, Kitchen still equals OH no matter what. It will never be an LH.

Pipe type and hose demand is allowed to use LH (though for hose demand, the rooms can not be adjacent so that nixes reducing it).
