I think that the "where" in that phrase works as an oppositive, i.e. (paraphrasing) there were quite a lot of overdubs going on in spite of the fact that things were supposed to be very clearly "fixed" (meant as not movable, not changeable... here I'm not using "fixed" as the opposite of "broken"). This way, the rest of the quote makes full sense... Nick Mason was not initially very found of doing massive overdubbing, but then he realized about the wider range of possibilities that multiple overdubs gave to the band.
@ Delfín (very belated reply): I think that the only element that Pink Floyd and "Ringscape" have in common is the sense of musical drama... of something dramatic going on. But I always heard "Ringscape" as something very airy, very open-spaced (maybe because of the original Music VR context that I first heard that tune in), while a lot of PF music is notable for its closed, stuffed-up, dark, moody, almost claustrophobic feel. "Closeness" and "darkness" are two elements that, IMHO, "Ringscape" manages to avoid quite brilliantly.
