Spanish-Portuguese has a solid line while Italian-Portuguese and Portuguese-Spanish are dashed, so the chart agrees with you.

I don't think the spatial potions represent anything, other than allowing the grouping and giving a rough guide at a glance.

I also miss the connections between Galician, Portuguese and Catalan.

Unless the way of reading the graph is a different one than what I am thinking about.
