https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49559
still not included and patches for 2.4.6 flying around no longer matching

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ apachectl -t
AH00526: Syntax error on line 20 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-ssl.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLDHParametersFile', perhaps misspelled or defined...............

because the original patch is more than a year old and https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
gives you 5 additional points for a 2048 bit DHE key -1 from me

sorry for the noise, the default seems to be changed to 2048

TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0x9e)   DH 2048 bits (p: 256, g: 1, Ys: 256)   FS		128	
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 (0x67)   DH 2048 bits (p: 256, g: 1, Ys: 256)   FS		128	
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0x33)      DH 2048 bits (p: 256, g: 1, Ys: 256)   FS		128

indeed i missed:
DH parameter interoperability with primes > 1024 bit
Beginning with version 2.4.7, mod_ssl makes use of standardized DH parameters with prime lengths of 2048, 3072 and
4096 bits (from RFC 3526), and hands them out to clients based on the length of the certificate's RSA/DSA key. With
Java-based clients in particular (Java 7 or earlier), this may lead to handshake failures - see this FAQ answer for
working around such issues.
