The important part is how fast you can empty the silver pile.

Well, with the correct instructions, we all can. I think the quickest way shown so far was emptying the pile on turn 1 in a 5-player game.

Not if you open 5/2

Hmmm.  I can do it really easily in a 7P game.  Everyone buys Embassy on a 5/2 split.

That used to be right, until:

Maybe more I'm forgetting.

Maybe I've misdefined a 5/2 open? Because I intended to mean exactly $5 and $2. I knew about the other possibilities.

How do we indicate exact scenarios?

Dude. The facts of life. You edge-cased someone. You were edge-cased back. That's how it goes.

How do you open Silver/Silver with 5/2 if Nomad Camp is on the board (and none of these other cards)?

Another option is if opponents buy Lost Cities.
