The rules only apply to shared-medium 10 Mbit/s Ethernet segments connected by repeaters or repeater hubs (collisions domains) and FOIRL links. The rules do not apply to switched Ethernet because each port on a switch constitutes a separate collision domain. With mixed repeated and switched networks, the rule's scope ends at a switched port.

[1] Wireless interference (e.g., with other networks on the same channel) is at least doubled.
