Is this:

Purchase flexible walk-up fares for any British train journey

Purchase flexible single/return tickets & Travelcards – in 3 clicks, at face value with no fees. Every British rail fare shown, railcard discounts included.

valid for:
1. One journey into London, unlimited zone 1-6 travel for 7 days, and one journey back to Diss?
2. Unlimited journeys into London, unlimited returns to Diss and unlimited travel in zones 1-6 for 7 days?

I think it's the latter as otherwise nobody would buy the ticket, you'd be better off to buy a standard return and pay for your travel in London. But it seems very good value.
Potentially taking a job which would see me in London 2/3 days a week and trying to work out if it stacks up financially for me to do so.

It's the latter. I wouldn't necessarily see it as "very good" value, as you are paying nearly £10k a year for an annual or £937 a month. But yes, it's less than the cost of two Anytime Day Travelcards a week.

It's also worth considering the cost of Advances and Flexi Seasons, depending on the time you will be travelling. A Network Railcard or Annual Gold Card may also offer some benefit for the return journey, particularly if splitting.

Thanks guys.
I'm going to try to get the prospective employer to cover the cost in any case. I'm actually home based and would be managing projects "local-ish" to me. I think they've put the London office as the "usual place of work" to avoid having to pay my expenses on the times I do have to go in.

It may be better value to just get a season to London Terminals and then use Oyster/contactless within the zones as necessary.
