Is there any realistic possibility of crews egressing from the soyuz
capsule and using their own parachutes if the capsule's parachutes are
inop or if there is a fire in the capsule ?

none

Or is there no space for parachutes between the seat liners and the

none

Is the soyuz just too cramped to allow crewmembers to unstrap themselves
and egress during a freefall ?

yes.

open the hatch would be an issue too
