So true, tere are small developments in terms of aero, as said by Hulk in an interview given to formula1.com . Perhaps they are concentrating more on optimising more on what they have right now , since the updates introduced in china didnt work to the full. A new less draggy chassis will be introduced in canada and who knows maybe some more new parts also (hoping for a new nose)

I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to answer because it's a question about hypothetical updates.

After a bit of googling I found out a bit about James Rao:

James Rao was a pilot working with under privileged children in Mumbai and friend of Vijay Mallya

Interesting angle of the rear wing. Seems almost like its got 4 elements where the wing meets the end plates or are they just vents?

It is 4 elements. It's something I first remember seeing on a Ferrari a few years back.

Indeed, it makes use of the 20mm width of the end plate. By making the end plate less wide the width is a "free" area.
