I think you're confusing the people that are likely to use this compared
to end users, I highly doubt people wanting wholesale routes will
confuse this issue, and end users want a complete services, not one
that's a little from column A a little from column B etc...

Most country prefixes cover most land lines then the providers simply
list the exceptions separate from this, which is the most sane way of
doing things, as there is usually less exceptions then normal routes...

eg +1 is about 20 countries, I'm sure most of the routes won't be that
wildly different from each other, on the other hand there is exceptions
and listing those makes for a smaller rate sheet...

Australia... +61, only a few exceptions compared to non-exceptions...

+611, +61[4-5] = mobile and special services...
