Good evening Stephen and welcome back!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.
These examples are meant to be used in template overrides (custom view) files.
You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.
The way this works is that you can any of the calendar’s view and tweak it precisely to your liking.
In this case the tweaking will be to set the number of events returned on any given view.
Additionally, there is a setting for that under Events -> Settings -> General and there is also one for all of our widgets (and widgets shortcodes).
Let me know how that goes.
Best regards,
Geoff B.
