Hi Scott, The same number stays in your configuration at all of their discontiguous sites regardless of how they ultimately connect to the Internet or with which AS numbers. They could do the same thing with a public AS number but there are handy router configs for removing the private AS number so it might end up causing you to have a longer than desired AS path. I don't think I'd build it this way myself but it works for them and it's a convenient large-scale example of using private AS numbers to interact with the public Internet.
