They are rotated journal files. Each time journald opens an uncleanly closed journal file, it will rotate. Also if the index structures in the journal file are too full, or the file is too big, it will be rotated. You can remove them, naturally losing the messages. They don't have to be in order or anything, so you can just remove the big ones losing some of the messages.
