nuancing of the nuances
Explanation:
Neither the German term nor the English term has any google hits, when put within the inverted commas. But the translation seems to be straight forward, if only due to the German term perhaps being a literal translation from English.

agree  Richard Benham: Or simply "of nuances".

  -> Thanks Richard
neutral  Steffen Walter: IMHO source=sloppy writing: "Betonung/Hervorhebung der Nuancen" would've been much better. ADD: Well, there's certainly a fine line between your elaborate examples *consciously* repeating the term and the far less sophisticated approach demonstrated here.

  -> "Logic is the science of sciences and the art of arts" was the constant refrain of my professor of logic. I think of him now.

give subtle nuances


Explanation:
give subtle nuances to the nuances.
Das hört sich wahrscheinlich blöd an, aber das Deutsche ist ja genauso schlimm. Ich halte nichts von Wiederholungen. Vielleicht möchtest du es auch mit "shade" oder "highlight" probieren.

agree  sylvie malich (X): much better than what the asker chose, I must say... Nuancing of nuances sounds plain ridiculous.

(impact on how) nuances become apparent // are emphasised/enhanced/brought to the fore


Explanation:
That'd be an option for "Auswirkung auf die Nuancierung der Nuancen", which should rather read "Auswirkung auf die *Betonung* der Nuancen"

The source strikes me as sloppy writing style. In contrast to previous answerers, I'd consciously avoid the repetition for the sentence not to sound overly stupid.
