Taa.  Hmmm, they look like distinct files, with completely
disjoint extents (which is good).  I'll still try to revisit
this locally, but if you don't need to keep them, you should
be able to blow these files away by writing zeroes into the
nextents and size fields (in a similar way to the way you did
nblocks overwrite earlier with xfs_db).

cheers.
