Comment (by Iceable):

 The offset could be 0 for the first feed (obviously), and then the the sum
 of `$args['items']` of the previous feed(s) for the next one(s).
 With the current feeds this would pull 1 item from the first feed and 3+1
 from the second.
 And if I am not mistaken this is exactly the margin needed to anticipate
 duplicates even in case the `'items'` args values change or if another
 feed is added in the future.
 I'm not even sure this will ever happen, but I like to avoid arbitrary and
 make things as flexible as possible :)

 You are absolutely right about the filename, my bad. Files with camelCase
 names seem much older, and those named with snake-case seem to be the most
 recent ones.
 And `conforming to the standards` > `trying to be consistent with old
 conventions`!
