1a)[line 3]בתוך עשריםB'SOCH ESRIM- within twenty Amos [of the ground]. If the Sechach of the upper Sukah is more than twenty Amos above the ground, than it becomes Sechach Pasul and invalidates even the lower Sukah due to the mixture of valid and invalid Sechach (see Background to Sukah 9:12). TOSFOS DH Ha (9b) has a different Girsa and understanding of this part of the Gemara; see Insights.

b)[line 6]בתוך עשריםB'SOCH ESRIM- within twenty Amos [of the Sechach of the lower Sukah, which functions as the floor of the upper Sukah]

c)[line 8]דילמא מצטרף סכך פסול בהדי סכך כשרDILMA MITZTAREF SECHACH PASUL BA'HADEI SECHACH KASHER- perhaps [the upper Sukah will rise above twenty Amos, and then] invalid Sechach will mix with kosher Sechach! (see above, entry #1a; see also TOSFOS DH Ha on 9a and Insights here)
