A more idiomatic, though to my ear still stilted, phasing would be:
Parameters not saved by `current-window-configuration' or
`window-state-get' are respectively left alone by
`set-window-configuration' or not installed by `window-state-put'.
A more straightforward, though wordier formulation is:
Parameters not saved by `current-window-configuration' are left alone
by `set-window-configuration' and parameters not saved by
`window-state-get' are not installed by `window-state-put'.
