If anything is over 12,500 in weight then it's 6000 feet. For landing it's the same as takeoff except that when anything above 12,500 is involved then that aircraft can only be on the runway by himself. I was in position and holding on 34 at Asheville, NC (AVL) today, with a plane on final, me in position and holding, and a 182 in front of me taking off. Before his wheels left the runway, I was cleared for take-off. The rule is you cannot start your takeoff roll until the required separation exists. He probably hurried your clearance because of the plane on final. Having one single chase another down the runway is common at any busy GA airport. Being 500-700 feet short on separation is a trivial matter.
