ᐅ Height of floor construction with Vallox HRV ducting questionable

Good morning,
Yesterday, I was able to inspect the first pipes and distribution boxes of our Vallox controlled residential ventilation system.
What I definitely hadn't realized is that there is hardly any space left for the screed. Until now, I thought flat ducts would be used.
The current distribution boxes are about 17-18 cm (7-7 inches) high, and if the underfloor heating and screed are added on top, the planned total height of 20 cm (8 inches) won't be achievable.
Does anyone have benchmark values? What is the minimum thickness required for the screed layer including underfloor heating?
I attached a photo from the bathroom on the upper floor. The two distribution boxes are quite close to each other. Is there still enough space above the box and piping for underfloor heating pipes including the screed, or will there be no underfloor heating installed there?

I also think that the minimum length of 5 meters (16 feet) was not met at the bathroom exit. What do you mean by that? Where exactly should there be 5 meters (16 feet) between?

Does anyone happen to know which ventilation manufacturers offer relatively flat duct distributors or require less installation height in their systems?
