Testcase

A transition from one inset box-shadow to two shadows, one inset and one outset, doesn't work as expected. See testcase.

The issue here is that shadows are processed in reverse order, and the last shadows have different types in the testcase.

Why not size_t?

If you make shadowListLength return an unsigned type, you will be able to write “(!fromLength || fromLength == 1)” as “fromLength <= 1”

This is an expensive way of doing things. You initialize fromShadows with fromLength 0 ShadowData pointers in it, then you prepend another fromLength pointers to that. You should do something like
for (size_t i = fromLength; i >= 0; --i) {
    fromShadows[i - 1] = shadowA;
    shadowA = shadowA->next();
}

And it would be better to give these vectors inline capacity to avoid heap allocation.
