Japanese Aikikai aikido is still a large and variegated entity, with some groups tracing a lineage right back to the Omoto Dai Nippon Budo Senyokai, of 1932. The Aikikai has a major interest in keeping these clans together. So the All-Japan Demonstration is meant to enhance the 'feel-good' factor about belonging to the Aikikai--and not becoming independent.
This would make the split with Tohei seem like it should never have happened? No?
Although, after reading the interview, it does seem like after his first 'rejection' it was his choice to separate.

(Just trying to make heads and tales of all this...and Im not even going to bother going past the japanese Shihans and their 'split'...enough to see the root)

p.s.
By unified face, I was implying what you were saying by 'binding force' of the Japanese Aikido organizations...(all the ones I mentioned were Japanese...) Although Im not all that clear of the history of the development of the Aikikai outside of the fact there was O Sensei...and then the second Doshu offered to Tohei initially.
(Who are the different people that popped up suddenly to make these choices?) Anyway, a complex web.

Hope that clarifies a bit more where I was coming from.

p.s.s.
Never mind...your right, there is a subtle difference - they are not trying to unify anything...just keep the club together. Got where your coming from now I think.
