- Use simple expressions wherever possible.
Istn't 'wherever' a conjunction? But there is no subject and verb there. Is it an abbreviated one of 'wherever it is possible'? |

Yes, that's pretty much it. You basically answered your own question. 
In this sentence, "wherever possible" is an example of a verbless clause (for obvious reasons). The verb that is omitted is typically a form of BE and the subject is normally understood from the context of the sentence.
