They're parallel; it's just that the pit lane is set back because of the double-wide front straight rebuilt for the refurbished, combined circuit at Monza in 1955. Due to the width of its (new) front straight, it's kind of a similar thing at Fuji now.

There's room for a temporary chicane or something just before the banking splits off, because, at that point, there is a link road for a short course that cuts off and goes through the infield to just after the Variente Ascari. It's about where they had the first chicane on the combined course that the Sportscars used for the 1966-69 Monza 1000km races.

And as for sorting out pit exit with a chicane there, well, the organizers had to figure out something very similar with the pit exit at Surfers Paradise for the CART/ChampCar races, so I think they can manage it at Monza.
