Thank you.

This explains the number of WAL files generated, I was not aware of the
(3*checkpoint_segments + 1) limit (I will RTBM better next time)

But this doesn't explain the WAL files not been created/recycled
time-ordered. I wonder if this happened because the partition got full
while the WALs were created/recycled?
