I don't think he is right in saying that there are some routes with "+HS1"
tickets

Kent-issued outboundary Travelcards, specifically.

The "Kent part is clear, and I don't think that it being a TC makes it any
different to a through ticket to somewhere North (/West) of London.

I'm reasonably sure that all of the obvious Kent origins work as I've
described, but their could be some weird ones for which the "any permitted"
didn't allow travel via Ashford on the historic line, but which makes sense
to use HS1 - Hasting via Rye, may be one. Or Headcorn to London which
wasn't available via HS1 (ISTR that if your origin is Pluckley doubling back
from Ashford is allowed), until they introduced the Maidstone service.



(as in a single main ticket, not an add on) but as I (obviously)
haven't checked all the possibilities there might be.

But if there is, the same rule would apply that the +HS1 is only
applicable
to the single through journey to/from Ebbsfleet to London and would be
valid
to either StP for Stratford for one single journey (per direction of
ticket).

The "only one journey" rule applies to the part outside the Travelcard
zones, once inside you can make as many journeys as you like (modulo the
possibility that even the semi-mythical +HS1 Travelcard might be invalid
from Stratford to StP.

No, I don't think so. HS1 is part of your inbound journey and can only be
travelled once.


Though one thing I don't know (and have been meaning to try for ages) is,
can I break my journey at Stratford (to visit the shopping centre) and
then
continue later to StP (which would be my intended destination whenever I
buy
super expensive ticket)?

If it's a CDR on HS1, then it should allow BoJ.

I know, but how do I prove that.
