It has to do with airflow coming off the outside of the parachutes. They do actually bounce off each other but the air coming off the outside keeps them separated for the most part. If you watch this video starting about 23:25 you can see them deploy and bounce off each other. Since the capsule isn't turning they don't get intangled. If the capsule was spinning they would wrap around each other.
