"It is required that qmax >= qmin". Ideally, this should be fully 
verbal, but will do.

Move the default to after the table.

What are the permissible values? Is the default dynamic or fixed?

If this refers to the bitstream flags, make that clearer, and use the 
exact labels e.g. profile_idc. Place each sentence after its option entry.

"
Set lookahead depth (in frames). Range is @var{-1 - 256} where -1 
indicates the value is unset. Default is -1.
In rate-control mode @var{vbr}, if unset, the encoder will set this to 
the intra period value. In rate-control mode @var{cqp},
it is recommended that look-ahead depth be set.
"

What does the encoder do in cqp mode if value is unset? Are there 
specific guidelines for optimum la-depth value, in each rc mode?
If there are significant tradeoffs, in terms of latency or resource 
usage, mention those.

"
A preset setting the quality vs. density tradeoff that the encoder 
should make.
Range is @var{0-12}. Lower values favour quality over density. Default is 9.

Double-check, but I think this end directive is meant to close the table 
for the private options and is not correctly placed. The one after hdr 
is the correct one.

"Flags input as having high dynamic range. Default is 0 (disabled)."

+
+The following FFmpeg global options affect the configurations of the
+libsvt_hevc encoder.
+
+@table @option
+@item b  (@emph{bitrate})
+Set the bitrate (as a number of bits per second). Default is 7M.

+@end table
+
+@item level
+
+@option{profile} sets the value of @emph{profile}.
+@option{level} sets the value of @emph{level}.
+
+The encoder also has its own specific options:
+
+@table @option
+@item vui
+Enables or disables the vui structure in the HEVC elementary
+bitstream. 0 = Off, 1 = On. Default is 0 (Off).
+

+Set look-ahead depth, depending on bit rate control mode @option{rc}, when
+bit rate control mode is set to vbr it's best to set this parameter to be
+equal to the intra period value (such is the default set by the encoder),
