startoffset: file offset of the start of the extent
endoffset: file offset of the end of the extent

No, it translates like this:
Logical Physical
File Offset (bytes) block on disk
------------------- -------------
0 (0..511) 5200578944
1 (512..1023) 5200578945
2 (1024..1536) 5200578946
..... .....
1053270 5201632214
1053271 5201632215
Cheers,
Dave.
