Probably not. We’re pretty stingy with examples in the spec; it’s plenty long enough already.

Note that all the examples currently in the preliminary article will remain in it as it transitions to being an informative supplement to the spec.

You have to read the spec to determine what is supported; the examples are not guaranteed to be complete. Take a look at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-hls-rfc8216bis-07#section-4.4.4.9 and specifically the BYTERANGE attribute.

See also the discussion about byte range hinting in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-hls-rfc8216bis-07#section-6.3.8 where it talking about hints and subranges. 

Partial segment specification by byte range is the basis for the interoperability point between LL-HLS and LL-DASH.

Will there be an update of the HLS Authoring Specification for Apple Devices page with a specific recommendation for the EXT-PARTS settings, or should we assume that the reference stream settings is the actual recommendation and that the example in the RFC is only a theoretical example?

Yes, there will be an update to the Authoring Spec with specific recommendations for low-latency. Stay tuned.
