In this sentence, the writer is using six words to express a meaning where one word will do.
In this sentence, the meaning is understandable, but I doubt whether WHERE can be used in this way.
WHERE as a relative pronoun can replace IN/ON/AT/TO WHICH, but in the sentence above it seems that none fits.

It can also mean 'for which'.

There is your "in". In this sentence, where one word will (or would) do to express a meaning, the writer is using six words.
As you see, I have changed the order of the words in the sentence. Hope it is clearer now.
