I can't make PEDecl (parameter entity declaration) with PEReference
(in EntityValue) when I try this in internal DTD, but this
construction is working in external DTD.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Third Edition)
W3C Recommendation 04 February 2004
Look at:
4.2 Entity Declarations
[72] PEDecl ::= '<!ENTITY' S '%' S Name S PEDef S? '>'

[74] PEDef ::= EntityValue | ExternalID

[9] EntityValue ::= '"' ([^%&"] | PEReference |
Reference)* '"'
| "'" ([^%&'] | PEReference |
Reference)* "'"
[69] PEReference ::= '%' Name ';'
And look at:
4.4 XML Processor Treatment of Entities and References

I can't find any place in W3C Recommendation where is explicit stated
that:
"Parameter entities can only be used to provide part of a declaration
in the external DTD subset. That is, parameter entity references can
only appear inside a declaration in the external DTD subset."

Please write me where was this specified

I think this
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#indtd>
plus
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#wfc-PEinInternalSubset>
defines where parameter-entity references can occur.
