They all form part of the same sequence. Genbank records typically 
describe just one contiguous nucleotide sequence, along with lots of 
annotation (including genes/protein(s) that might be present, etc).

Either comment on the bug or perhaps just email me directly - since 
your questions are more about understanding the semantics of the 
format. In fact, I think that it would be worth us skyping sometime 
this week. Would you be able to talk around 5-6pm your time tomorrow ?  
I'll have actually looked at your patch by then and will be able to 
give you some feedback.

Jim.
