In general you don't need to worry about that, as when you go to buy your 
"routes", the splits are given to you.  For example, though you have split 
up New Zealand nicely I don't need that information, as the termination 
provider I buy New Zealand from gives me one price for what they deem 
"proper" (01164) and another several for what they deem "mobile" 
(01164900, 011648, 011642).  Whatever destination is dialed simply picks 
the route that it most matches, and I know what the charges are.

This does mean that you have to stay in synch with any changes your 
upstream termination providers make to their dial plans, however.
