I'm not sure, but the recipe schedule download time will interact with the oldest_article to produce partial days.
I don't know the answers to the rest. You can run tests to answer them, or look at the code, but I wouldn't bother. The variation in timing of different feed suppliers is so great that you can't accurately predict what will/won't be picked up. Just add a day or two and make sure you pick it up.

I have a suggestion. Some RSS feeds use UUIDs to prevent duplicate downloads. Could it be possible for Calibre to use them?

There is
code in the code sticky to do this and there are some threads discussing alternative methods.. I wrote similar code and didn't like it much. It would occasionally fail, and you had to download and read every single issue to see all articles. I preferred to just read the latest issue and skip any old articles by title.
