It can leap over the natural limit formed by one individual’s living, working day, at a given stage in the development of the forces of production (and it does not in itself change anything that this stage is changing) only by positing another working day alongside the first at the same time – by the spatial addition of more simultaneous working days.

It's talking about child labour. Pre-capitalism the children and women did domestic work while the husband earned the primary income. Capitalism replaced domestic products with commodities that increased the cost of living. This was offset by increasing the number of family members earning the primary income. Spatially the husband, wife, and 2 children now occupy the role the husband used to and experience four simultaneous work days to earn the same effective income.
