I'm not sure that description of parallel vacuum in the middle of 
non-full vs. full vacuum is actually that good.  I think those sentences 
should be moved to a separate paragraph.

About your patch, I don't think this is clearer.  The fillfactor stuff 
is valid to be mentioned, but the way it's being proposed makes it sound 
like the main purpose of VACUUM FULL is to bloat the table to make 
fillfactor room.  The "no extra space" wording made sense to me, with 
the fillfactor business perhaps worth being put into a parenthetical note.
