blocklist count

I've compiled a blocklist which contains 924491 unique entries. However when this is imported into transmission it reports 'Blocklist has 284,099 rules'.
What happened with the other 640392 entries?

They are grouped together in a range.

What does that mean exactly? Is there parsing on the address range in each line?
Would '123 bads:123.123.123.1-123.123.123.200' omit ''456 bads:123.123.123.10-123.123.123.100'

ranges can span. for example a blocklist to ban all:
block ALL x:0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
to block all but two ips:
block ALL x:0.0.0.0-10.0.0.211
block ALL x:10.0.0.213-192.168.1.76
block ALL x:192.168.1.78-255.255.255.255
So transmission will sort out your blocklist to produce the most efficient compact blocklist from all of your blocklist entries. See blocklist.c
