you could shorten it to "BLOCKSIZE is ignored...". up to you.

again we could shorten it. the BLOCKSIZE text already looks a bit weird:
the first clause is just redundant, and the emphasis seems to be how to
avoid it. maybe:
Display block counts in units of size
.Dv BLOCKSIZE .
Ignored if any of the
.Fl h , k
or
.Fl P
options are specified.
