Nevermind, I figured it out after reading this thread:
forums.wsusoffline.net • View topic - Using 8.3 for XP (x86) updates

Has that XP always been in the legacy section? Anyway I checked it and now I have a separate ISO, wsusoffline-wxp-enu.iso. Personally I think not doing both w2k3 and xp together is less intuitive but ok.

Windows XP 32bit is NT kernel 5.1, Windows Server 2003 and XP 64bit have kernel 5.2. Thus both need completely separate patches.
