Penio Penev:
   I was left with the impression, that the @+ will increment by 1,
   not by 5.

Well, yes.  But increment is a numeric operation.
So, pattern 00000 is numeric AAAAA,
    pattern 00001 is numeric AAAAb,
and pattern 00006 is numeric AAAAC.

However, it doesn't really matter whether the pattern sequence
generated by @+ would be 00000, 00001, 00006, 00007, ... or 00000,
00001, 00002, 00003, ... -- neither of these subsequences includes
anything on the page with patterns 0AA800..0AAFFF.
