Open translation for this passage
ἑκατέρα μὲν δὴ πλευρὰ τῆς ἀφέσεως πλέον ἢ τετρακοσίους πόδας παρέχεται τοῦ μήκους, ᾠκοδόμηται δὲ ἐν αὐταῖς οἰκήματα·
The first clause has ἑκατέρα πλευρά as subject with a genitive of the opening and a comparative-plus-measure construction; ᾠκοδόμηται is likely perfect middle/passive 3sg with οἰκήματα as nominative plural neuter subject, though the number mismatch creates some syntactic uncertainty.

πρὸ δὲ τῶν ἁρμάτων ἢ καὶ ἵππων τῶν κελήτων, διήκει πρὸ αὐτῶν καλῴδιον ἀντὶ ὕσπληγος·
The initial prepositional phrase (πρὸ τῶν ἁρμάτων ἢ καὶ ἵππων τῶν κελήτων) is an adjunct of διήκει; καλῴδιον is the subject, with ἀντὶ ὕσπληγος expressing substitution. The second πρὸ αὐτῶν is directional and refers to the vehicles/horses; the coordination after ἤ is somewhat elliptical.

βωμὸς δὲ ὠμῆς πλίνθου τὰ ἐκτὸς κεκονιαμένος ἐπὶ ἑκάστης Ὀλυμπιάδος ποιεῖται κατὰ τὴν πρῷραν μάλιστά που μέσην, ἀετὸς
The main clause is βωμὸς ... ποιεῖται, with the perfect passive participle κεκονιαμένος agreeing with βωμός; ἀετός is syntactically unresolved because the sentence continues beyond the supplied excerpt.
