The `zp_plugin_)` options are clearly form a bug at some point in initializing options. I did find some in my database, but after removing them I have not been able to generate any new ones.
The `theme` and `creator` fields can be of some use in purging obsolete options. Also generally we try to purge options if we migrate them. At least more recently, we try to name options with the creator to prevent accidental duplication.
Other that these hints we have no way of knowing if an option is still valid.
I do not have the `comments_per_page` option in my database, so I suspect that its purging somehow got skipped on your site. Perhaps due to beta software--the option may not have been initially named correctly.
