How about the below, suggested wording replacing these 2 paragraphs:

   A  list  is a sequence of one or more pipelines separated by one of the
   operators ;, &, &&, or ||, and optionally terminated by one of ;, &, or
   <newline>.

   Of these list operators, && and || have equal precedence, followed by ;
   and &, which have equal precedence.

Suggest:

   A  list  is a sequence of one or more pipelines separated by one of the
   operators ;, &, &&, or ||, and terminated by ;, &, or <newline>.

   Precedence of these operators, in decreasing order by line is:

   && and ||
    ; and &
