This increases the allowed bandwidth from 160 to 320 MHz for the
5945-6425 MHz band to support 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) EHT-320 for the
ETSI/CEPT harmonized countries (EU + CH/LI/NO and TR).

Previously the bandwidth limit was set to 160 MHz to match 802.11ax
(including the 6 GHz extension called Wi-Fi 6e). This limit is not
supported by the current regulatory documents and should be relaxed to
320 MHz.

The 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) standard defines EHT-OFDMA for a 320 MHz
bandwidth. Devices (both AP and STA) supporting and using this are
widely available now. The "6 GHz" band starting at 5945 MHz is the prime
target for these wide channels. In the ETSI/CEPT harmonized countries
the 5945-6425 MHz range has been allocated to WLAN. It can contain one
320 MHz channel centered at channel 31 (6105 MHz) and one overlapping
channel at centered at 63 (6265 MHz).

Note that the supporting documents quoted currently do not have an upper
bandwidth limit:

EU: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32021D1067&from=EN
    and https://docdb.cept.org/download/4577

Adoption by e.g.
DE: https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/Sachgebiete/Telekommunikation/Unternehmen_Institutionen/Frequenzen/Allgemeinzuteilungen/MobilfunkDectWlanCBFunk/vfg552021WLAN6GHz.pdf

CH and LI: https://www.ofcomnet.ch/api/rir/1010/11 (note the explicit empty bandwidth limit)
NO: https://lovdata.no/dokument/SF/forskrift/2012-01-19-77
TR: https://www.btk.gov.tr/uploads/pages/ftm-teknik-olcutler-ek-5.pdf

Note also that the EC mandate to the CEPT to investigate the upper
6425-7125 MHz band for future use explicitly confirms that there is now
(2024-12) one non-overlapping 320 MHz channel for 802.11be available in
the existing "mid-band" (i.e. 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz) allocations:
https://cept.org/files/6813/Mandate%20to%20CEPT%20upper%206%20GHz%20band.pdf
(page 3).

The 160 MHz limits for the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands can remain since there
is no possible configuration for a 320 MHz channel there.
