The only such usage of `++` I see in the documentation is for escaping a
URL used as a link parameter. Not sure whether this is the same case.

Though the brackets are not punctuation, you con try a backslash to
escape them:

  video::testvideo\[a].mkv[start=03:55,end=04:05,height=400]

As the target format is HTML, you can try also encoding the brackets
with the usual URL hex notation:
 
  video::testvideo%5Ba%5D.mkv[start=03:55,end=04:05,height=400]

Hope this helps. I didn't tested.
