Comment:

 We should either close this or take the parent into account, however to I
 don't think we should go beyond what WP_Query is capable of. If WP_Query
 can't intelligently return the correct number of results then I don't
 think we should patch. The problem is we'll need to recursively fill to
 10, and keep doing more WP_Queries.

 Next step: work out if we can provide additional args to WP_Query when
 getting the list of media so it's returning the correct amount without us
 having to strip them manually PHP-side. I'm pretty sure that's _not_ going
 to be possible though.
