Looks good in a quick once-over. Just two small wording comments:

This reads a little strange to me. Maybe "the N most recent megabytes
plus ..."

Since you change the way these two variables are used, I would not say
"override" in the above comment, nor keep the ellipses; perhaps just
change them to "determine how many segments can be kept by slots" and
"ditto for wal_keep_size".
