How about this:

<para>
When applied to a partitioned table to rename columns or constraints,
the corresponding partition columns and constraints are renamed
implicitly. <literal>ONLY</literal> is not allowed, and the command
cannot be used on individual partitions. When the rename target is the
table name, only the named table is renamed.

…are renamed implicitly, ONLY is not allowed, and the command cannot…(and drop the mention of table renaming).
Or:
“When applied to a partitioned table’s name only the parent is changed, partitions must be renamed separately. However, column or constraint renaming must be done on the parent without ONLY, the corresponding partition columns or constraints will be renamed implicitly.”
I find the repeated use of “table” “name(d)” and “rename(d)” in one sentence worth avoiding.
