I think it's more likely that you should think of it like this...

Rou synthesizes two abilities together. When he activates the synthesized ability, the two abilities it's made of AREN'T able to be activated. However, he could probably activate those abilities separately still, if he so chose to.

There's not really much point in doing so, though. He may do it if he's trying to match up to someone's strength perfectly, but I don't think he's really ever done that.

Also...the synthesized ability is typically better than the two abilities if they were activated separately I believe, which is one of the bonuses in synthesizing them together. You can see stuff like that when you look at his summoning abilities he's synthesized together (like...Dragon summoning, etc...which was further improved once he synthesized all of them together).

He experiments with the abilities by synthesizing them into objects, though (he did this with ones he'd never use, like the weakness to light and weakness to sunlight abilities)...and he does confirm that they still remain (though it's possible that's a mistranslation, I'd say that's unlikely).

The "no longer exist" stuff on that list basically just means that he won't use them anymore, because they've been synthesized into other abilities. ^^
