Unless I am sadly mistaken... And I regularly am ;-)

The function of maximum sprinkler spacing is either:

(1)a function of the required design density, as addressed by NFPA-13 and all 
the previously referenced tables...
(2) or a function of the listing of the sprinkler you wish to utilize, (ie 
extended coverage, ESFR, etc)

It also appears to me that it doesn't matter whether it is high-piled storage 
or miscellaneous storage, by definition.
The requirements are still predicated on the required design density (ie <0.25 
gpm or >/= 0.25 gpm) OR the sprinkler's listing.

The only other caveat that comes into play are any other specific requirements 
or allowances for spacing in high-piled storage arrangements, such as in-rack 
sprinklers, etc.

Also add Table 8.8.2.1.2 for Extended Coverage for Storage

Here's a related wrinkle.   Well actual the text says High PIled
storage which is defined as storage greater than 12 ft high.  What about Group 
A plastic greater than 5 ft (which falls in full storage vs Class I-IV going to 
Chap 13 - Misc and the Occupancy Hazard Approach)
