It makes sense since the additional time is only compensation for lost time during the game, on subs, injuries etc...

I'd call it impressive.
Not only for the 14 clean sheets, but also due to the fact that the EPL was at its best back then. This United team also reached the CL final, where they also kept lots of clean sheets.
It was a team with incredible defense and midfielders who worked their asses to help the defense (Fletcher, Park, Carrick etc). They had lots of talent in attack with Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov and Tevez from the bench), so the others were mostly defensively oriented.
van der Sar takes a lot of credit, but that team played top defense.
A link between van der Sar's and Buffon's record is the same left back - Evra.

But also, if lets say Cuadrado is hurt in the 10th second of the match against Torino and stays on the ground for 3-4 minutes, with the Juve medical team next to him, those minutes will count for Gigi's record.
Simply, the added time counts for the time wasted during normal time, and it's fine that those minutes don't count.

Going to get pretty close between Ale and Gigi by the time Buffon is done. As a Juve icon to the world and Juve legend within the ranks, to the ultras and fans alike. That apart, given the social media boom and his own exploits he's one of the more renowned Juve legends of the game, in a modern day EPL munching republic of infantinos.
Zoff tribute to Juventus record-breaker Buffon
Dino Zoff has paid tribute to Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon.
For victory over Sassuolo, Buffon took his clean sheet run to 926 minutes of football.
With four minutes against Torino next week, Buffon will break the all-time record set by Sebastiano Rossi at Milan.
"I was sure it would happen sooner or later and Buffon has the most credentials. He is the best, superior to Rossi too. His secret is that he never rested on his laurels or his natural aptitude, instead working very hard to improve.
“Buffon's record is also that of Juventus, because Gigi knows that if your teammates allow five shots on target, you can save four, but the fifth will probably go in," Zoff told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“It's not an issue of the times having changed, but rather the strength of the team you are playing with. This Juve can win its fifth consecutive Scudetto, a stratospheric achievement."
