Basically, see if you still get exit code 1 when you exclude the Premium heading patch.
done, still get exit code 1.
You are patching a split APK file but need a full APK
You are patching a split APK file but need a full APK
What does this mean? Are there multiple distributions of the YouTube app available? The one I'm using is just the one from the Google Play Store (or Aurora Store really), and I assumed everyone would have pretty much the same.
How does one go about validating whether an APK is split or full, and how does one obtain a non-split version of the YouTube APK?
Answered my own question (perhaps we can add this to the documentation since it seems to be a common problem and seems to be broken by default?)

Apparently the version of the YouTube app you get from the Google Play Store is the split version, and indeed there is a separate non-split version that can be obtained from APKMirror. So, download and install that, then patch.
it would be useful if the manager would combine split APKs then patch the merged APK, having to use APKMirror isn't great.
How about auto merge apk? This project does decent job https://github.com/REAndroid/APKEditor
You can make suggestions here https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patcher/issues/73
I submitted https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/pull/1543 to document this advice since it seems the maintainers are needing to answer this question a lot.
