I think the most I've seen using one runway together is ten - but
the RAF Red Arrows (including the pilot of the reserve aeroplane)
know a thing or two about close-quarters flight ...

If you think the only time more than one airplane can be using the runway
at any given moment is formation operations, you're mistaken.

I don't think that at all: I simply said that (AFAICR) the Reds (and
*possibly* the Patrouille de France and/or the Frecce Tricolori) have
provided the maximum that I have seen.

AFAIK, our CAA doesn't approve of LAHSO, so I've not seen that form
of dual runway occupancy.

Apart from formation operations of one sort or another, I can't think
of any example which *I have seen* which wasn't of some "obviously
safe" type, such as "after the landing Cessna, line up ..."
