Platform lengths for Bristol TM are well documented in the wiki, which is very helpful.

Excuse my ignorance, but could someone please explain the PP and PF abbreviations in the notes?

They are codes for permissive working, but off the top of my head I cannot remember exactly what they mean.

PP will stand for platform permissive PF is for freight permissive. details are as you've said platform permissive is 0,1,2,5 (also 3 and 4 parcels era dependant) whilst freight (goods permissive to me) is all non passenger carrying services.
