(3) what is a purpose of CHIP tiles, besides spreading?
(4) why CHIP tiles are allowed?

easiest way to understand = read existent posts and replies. some good explanations here

Hope it clears some of your doubts

well, forum search clearly says: there is NO definition for station spreading.

(1) is there a definition for "station spreading"?

Offically no, we define it as increasing coverage by extending a staion unnecessarly or adding station parts that are unused. See ST2's examples

(2) what is a purpose of station spread limit? Doesn't it limit the spread?

Station spread limits the size of a railway station, it does not limit the spread of adjoining vehicle stations.

(3) what is a purpose of CHIP tiles, besides spreading?

they are decorative


(4) why CHIP tiles are allowed?

Why should they not be?

"well, forum search clearly says: there is NO definition for station spreading." - try reading the server rules particually No.7

Rule #7

Do not station spread with airports, train and road vehicle stations to extend coverage area to additional resources including towns and cities unfairly.
