Hi,
For the Fig 32-25, I think you do not need to care about the Wire-OR mode. In the Fig, you use GPIO from master SPI to select the slave.
When SS1 is low, the slave1 is selected, the MISO pin of slave1 spi is driven, in the case, SS2 pin is high, the MISO pin of slave2 spi is in high-impedance, so it can work.
When SS2 is low, the slave2 is selected, the MISO pin of slave2 spi is driven, in the case, SS1 pin is high, the MISO pin of slave1 spi is in high-impedance, so it can work.
Note that the SS1 and SS2 can not be low simultaneously.
Hope it can help you
