Hi Séb :) What follows is what I tried and learn of my own experience. Regarding the persistent_variable match conditions, it never happened to work. At least with me. It is related with the $module_result.[...].persistent_variable variable. Though, since eZp 3.7.3 (the version I tried it on), I didn't test it again. Note that you can override any template call. That means this works also with <b>{include...}</b> statement. Here is how i've been using it in my own website (http://www.starnab.com).
The <b>pagebody.tpl</b> is my default template that shows the main content of my page (article list for example) and the boxes on the left (you know, the ones with drag'n'drop enabled ;-p). For the sitemap of my site (http://www.starnab.com/plan-du-site), I did not need the boxes to show up. I needed to have a specific pagebody.tpl that had no right part. So rather than having some messy "if" statements in my templates, I used this piece of override instead :
[plan-du-site_page_body]
Source=pagelayout/page_body.tpl
MatchFile=pagelayout/page_body/fullpage.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[viewmode]=sitemap
I needed to make sure that the override applied only on the sitemap view since a sitemap is just a specific view of a node. If there was not this line, the override would have applied to my entire site which was not what I was aiming for. This makes maintenance much more easier from my point of view with an easier template code to re-read.
And finally, I have never tried the view_offset so far. :) It obviously has something to do with the $module_result.view_parameters.offset variable Hope it helped. A+
