From your gist:

From zshcontrib(1):
zargs [ option ... -- ] [ input ... ] [ -- command [ arg ... ] ]
[...]
The options -i, -I, -l, -L, and -n differ slightly from their
usage in `xargs`. There are no input lines for `zargs` to
count, so -l and -L count through the "input" list, and -n
counts the number of arguments passed to each execution of
"command", *including* any "arg" list.
So you actually want -n2. (Adjust to taste.)
