What happens if I buy a return from A to B at, say 10:00 in the morning, coming back about 19:00? If I turned up at A at this time and asked for 'a return to B' I would presumably be sold an off-peak return. However, if I was to break my journey on the outward leg at C would I be restricted in which trains I could use later from C to B if I were to do this during the peak?

Here is the ridiculously long restriction:
(I have removed some parts that are not relevant)
On another ticket, it may be worded differently, like "Not valid between 1530 and 1815" (or similar) and that would scupper your plans.
But the wording of this one seems to be OK for what you want to do.

You "may not join" at Edinburgh Waverley/Haymarket so you are OK to join at South Gyle.

Good lord! Thanks for that. I was rather hoping there'd be some sort of generic rule about this sort of thing, which is why I worded the OP with A, B and C. It's no wonder normals get caught out by rail fares. And no wonder they sometimes get angry when they do!
There is; look up the restriction code
Joking aside, ATOC don't do things that are generic or simple. Well, not what a sane person would consider simple....
