I’ve always believed it’s so that the artwork fits both circular and square layouts, circular being how the station live streams are presented on Sounds. The central “Radio 4” would get cut off in a circle, and while the same is technically true for the right side numeral, it doesn’t matter as the UI of the live stream places the full colour numeral of the radio station on top of the circular thumbnail in the bottom right corner anyway.
