Google Calendar event offset

Was going post this feature request when I stumbled upon this, has anyone found a solution?

The event name offset doesn’t seem to fully work anyway as it doesn’t seem to go over 2 digits (maximum 99 minutes I suppose).

There does seem to be quite a convoluted solution posted here: Help me wrap my head around Google Calendar
However, this could be made so much simpler with some kind of offset parameter for the calendar device.
