Is Karun Chandok saying Honda can engine test as much as they like?

I read this as him saying Honda can just stick the F1 engine in a Formula Nippon or an old NSX or suchlike. Have the rules changed on engine testing?
Quoted from Autosport.

"In a way, I'm a bit confused. I think back to the days of McLaren-Honda in the 1980s/1990s, when they permanently had cars running around Suzuka with Allan McNish or Jonathan Palmer or Emanuele Pirro doing development work over thousands of laps.

Geoff Willis said to me that when he worked at the next Honda project, how he and Anthony Davidson would run a test mule just doing the laps, getting the reliability and performance up.

Has Honda carried out that sort of programme in secret? If so it's not worked.

With all the resources Honda has in Japan, half the grid of Super Formula - those cars are bloody good, they are the next best thing to F1 - surely it could have a test hack running at Suzuka every single day just making that engine better?

I'm not able to understand why that's not worked out."
