Explanation:

Compound sentences are those sentences that contain two independent clauses to make a meaningful complete sentence. Even if the sentence are broken into two, both the sentences can stand on its own.

Independent clauses are those clauses that need no addition to be deemed a complete sentence. They are capable of standing on their own.

So, with the addition of new sentences, the whole new compound sentence are as follows-

1. We arrived at the concert early, and  we were able to procure the best seats for ourselves.

2.  He was a bit late in the start but he won the relay race.

3. You cannot eat hot dogs, nor  can you eat anything in this area.

4. We tossed water balloons back and forth, and  we also splashed water on each other.

5.  We had done our chores in the morning and in the evening we want to go to the movies.

6. The children were hungry, but Mother did not allow them to have snacks before dinner.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
