Just as a clarification: the "_extra" here does not mean "append to previous value".

The only difference between "#+latex_header: " and #+latex_header_extra: " is
that anything specified in the former is *also* used when constructing the header
for the LaTeX file for previewing LaTeX fragments, whereas anything specified in the
latter is only used when exporting: it is not used when previewing.

See

    (info "(org) LaTeX header and sectioning")

which says:

,----
|    The LaTeX export back-end appends values from ‘LATEX_HEADER’ and
| ‘LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA’ keywords to the LaTeX header.  The docstring for
| ‘org-latex-classes’ explains in more detail.  Also note that LaTeX
| export back-end does not append ‘LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA’ to the header when
| previewing LaTeX snippets (see *note Previewing LaTeX fragments::).
