What does the plus sign after the blocks value exactly mean in the fdisk output? Some research reveals that it indicates that not all the blocks are included in the fdisk value. But what does this exactly mean?

Those blocks are 1024 bytes each, so you'll see that "+" when the
partition contains an odd number of 512-byte sectors.  That's all
it means.  The root cause is that the usual pseudo-geometry used
is 63 sectors/track and 255 heads, which results in a "cylinder"
with an odd number of sectors.
