If I wanted to change the hardcoded IP would it just be a case of
changing
the single reference to 10.42.43.1 that I can find in src/nm_device.c to
the
range to suit my requirements?
...
guint32 start = (guint32) ntohl (0x0a2a2b01); /* 10.42.43.1 */
guint32 count = 0;
...
Yup, that would be the place. To fix this for real, we allow users
modify shared connections in the connection editor, then maybe add some
keys to NMSettingIP4Config for "shared subnet" and "shared netmask".

Thank you Dan for confirming that. I've made the change and it works
perfectly for my configuration now.
If someone did decide to allow users to modify shared connections in the
connection editor can I suggest it's done as an almost hidden feature. The
simplicity of the shared connection option at present is beautiful. I think
it's safe to say that 99% of users do not need to even know nevermind change
the IP settings being used to create the shared connection.
