So maybe 4.9 will be good number? ;-) I'm fan of this idea - it will be then migrated to Ubuntu 16.04 by LTS Enablement Stack and no more custom kernels needed :-)

I don't, but maybe @fritsch does - this change pre-dates my involvement with OpenELEC, and unfortunately the commit message is completely useless (which is fairly typical) so it just appears to be one of those random commits that may have made sense at the time but quite possibly no longer does.
With improvements through VideoPlayer in Kodi 17 perhaps this value is no longer needed, although to be honest nobody else has complained.
We made a test with some 20 pariticipants and the result was on average 175 ms was what those guys needed. That's why it came into OpenELEC at this time. The commit you see there was not the original commit, but that PR was taken and pushed, the history of it was gone. The original commit was by me, but can't find it at the moment.
Just remember: This fixes a constant offset introduced by HW, it's not a workaround for kodi's sync code or something like that.

if you have no Linux knowledge at all is there a method of installing these VAAPI builds of OpenELEC onto a USB stick, and from there installing them to an SSD? I swear that the front page used to have such a guide but it seems to have gone since I was last here. Any info greatly appreciated.

In your case:
xrandr: Full (*) _or_ Video Range 16:235 (only available in LE and OE) not to be confused with Limited 16:235 xrandr setting
kodi: Use Limited
TV: Needs to be in limited Range
*: Some TVs switch to Full range and don't allow tunneliing of Limited Content in that full range as they check the info frames, for those TVs especially this "Video Range 16:235" was made.
Edit: In your Full + Diterhing path you get nice colors, too - but WTW and BTB won't be working anymore.
Disclaimer: All that above only makes sense with EGL kodi
