Here is the states we have a geographic area called an "area code".  As 
we run out of numbers in an area code, we have another area code 
designation "overlaid" on the first.  So. here in Denver we have 303, 
then 720, and now 646--all representing the same goegraphic area.

Will your "super range" handle this?  Or do we need several "destination 
pattern" fields for each input.
