Questions

How is the window measured?

Seconds from the start of the file. Cut from 0 to hide the first minutes; set both ends for a middle stretch.

Does this leave a hole in the GPS?

The records in the window are gone. The rest of the ride, sensors included, stays.

Will Strava edit the original?

No. Upload the download as a new activity.
