I think you are misreading this line. The offset for page 0 is rq_offset, the offset for all subsequent pages are 0.

This is actually a little different. This function returns the length and offset for a given page in the request. There might be multiple pages in a request. 

The other function calculates the total length of all the pages in a request.
