We didnt have to be 25' apart nor were we illegal according to the rafting rules! There were no other boats within 50' of us! They all left because of the impending storm!

First let me say that in a repair situation or a waiting out the storm situation, I would expect the MP to be more helpful. But they are only human and they come in different personalities.
Seems like in the spirit of the law would allow your actions, to the letter of the law, I think you were in violation.
In a NRZ, you can raft two boats together and be 50' from other boats or your boats can be 25' apart. It doesn't seem like, you can't be 10' apart and not rafting, for example. You either have to have your boats touching (rafting) or be 25' away.
It sounds a little silly but that's how I read the law.
