This can happen with en_US if the user selects 24-hour in digitalclock's config. It can also be experienced by default in the Singapore locale.

For easy testing (note this is testing floating? not vertical):

    TZ="UTC-06:00" LC_TIME="en_SG.UTF-8" plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma.digitalclock
    TZ="UTC-00:00" LC_TIME="en_SG.UTF-8" plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma.digitalclock
    TZ="UTC+06:00" LC_TIME="en_SG.UTF-8" plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma.digitalclock

Looks like the vertical panels don't have enough space for 23:59 at... 10pt * 3 = 30pt

> fontSizeMode: Text.HorizontalFit
> font.pixelSize: 3 * PlasmaCore.Theme.defaultFont.pixelSize

The TZ env var doesn't seem to work with plasmoidviewer for some reason.

    TZ="UTC+05:00" LC_TIME="en_SG.UTF-8" plasmoidviewer -a org.kde.plasma.digitalclock -l leftedge -f vertical

"12:59 PM" text needs a panel to be ~178px wide.
"23:59" text needs a panel to be ~96px wide.

A "Ubuntu Unity" vertical panel is usually around 64px wide.
A "Windows 10" vertical taskbar is 92px wide according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA_szqXEJrU.

A horizontal panel defaults to what? 36px tall? There's probably 2px of padding top/bottom.

32px*0.71=22.7px Time
32px*0.56=17.9px Time (w/ Date)

Is this not intentional? On a vertical panel. the font scales up and down to fit the horizontal space. Fewer digits means less text means more space means a larger font. Seems correct to me, no?
