Your interpretations are almost completely correct. For the Full settings, there's no need to have such a large number for FullKeepCnt, since that would be roughly 900 days (30 * 29.97). Only one would be kept after 180 days. The exponential settings (where FullKeepCnt is an array) give more flexibility. So you could get the same effect by setting FullKeepCnt to 7 or so (since FullAgeMax kicks in after 6 months).
In the incremental case, your settings will have only 29 saved at ~1 day intervals, so there shouldn't be any older than 30 days. Therefore the FullKeepCnt setting shouldn't matter in this case - none will get that old.
