Hi David,

this looks like a 'feature request' which is best to be put in our
'issue-tracker'.

Read about it here:
http://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/index.html#bugs-features-and-issues

It is wise to add the connection parameters to it of a public available
service, while it is maybe not so hard for a developer to change the
code, it can be (too much) time to find out a working server which has
different extents for layers and tilematrixset.

My preference is that you create the issue/feature request yourself, but
if it is a problem for you to generate (and watch) the issue, sent me
enough info, then I'm happy to create the issue for you.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
