Don't worry, breaking down an arbitrary IP-range into a CIDR conforming =
set of ranges, doesn't seem too difficult. I quickly hacked into the   =
for() loop for table generation in geoip.c a nested do while() for if =
necessary breaking down the given range:

for (i =3D 0; i < n; i++)
{
   if (!*ccList || findCC(CCTable, sortedIPSets[i][2]))
   {
      ipv4_lo =3D sortedIPSets[i][0];
      do
      {
         m =3D intlb(sortedIPSets[i][1] - ipv4_lo  + 1);
         while (ipv4_lo  % (k =3D (int)lround(exp2(m)))) m--;
         printRange(ipv4_lo, 32 - m, table_number, table_value);		=
    =20
      }
      while ((ipv4_lo +=3D k) < sortedIPSets[i][1]);
   }
}

This seems to work as expected, however, I need to check this more =
carefully (in the course of the weekend) until pushing it to GitHub. At =
the first glance, the tables become quite large. For example, the table =
for Brazil of 824 joined entries is bloated to 6621 CIDR records.

Once I came to a conclusion, I will post it to this mailing list.

Best regards

Rolf
