"Petite" just means "short". "Petite" has a shorter rise and waist, narrower shoulders, and shorter arms/legs than misses, but is cut to a misses (not juniors) curve. In comparison, a "misses short" pair of pants will have the same rise as "misses" but shorter legs.
"Petite plus" doesn't make much sense, really, because the issues of rise/waistedness become much less...discernible...as you go up in sizes. Really, they could just be "plus short" and save a section. It causes serious fit issues apart from height for slim and regular women because their bodies are less mooshy, and a 1" difference is large, percentage-wise.
