You are correct, PR is a Partial Payback Day. They take your block-in time, add 30 mins for debrief, etc, then add 9 hrs for rest (I think 9, maybe 8) then they start your payback days.
So for your 4 day trip, for example, they would take block-in, plus 30 min, plus (8 or 9) hrs, plus 4 days (96 hrs) of payback days.
The trip with the redeye would be considered 4 days, because it would use 4 days of a reserve.
If you're near the end of the month, PB days don't go into the next month. They get stored (see your time card at the bottom) and can be used to drop days in another month, or as vacation days.
