On my location list I usually have something like
Town, County, England.
When the county lines have been redrawn, VE does not find the town. My way
around this has been to rename the location to
Town, England and then VE usually finds the town. The problem I have with

How do genealogists handle the English counties where the county lines have
been redrawn and towns have been moved from one county to another, so that you
have a record (census, birth, etc.) showing one county name and VE don't find
it because it is now in another?
I guess one way would be to

This is actually a worldwide problem. I use the choice

Sweden, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Germany. It

Most information in the file tends to be before the present counties

You did fine. Next time take out the English counties,
unless your question is a new one related to the prior
place.
We all learned how to do it, with we hope, a quick
learning curve. :-)
