Hello, First, thank you for the extracts, they're immensely helpful!
The admin_level=3 are obscure to most people, except for those who need to work with NUTS classifications. If you're interested in recognizable region names, then kraje (admin_level=4) are preferable. However, since we're discussing planet extracts (and Czech NUTS 2 regions decompose cleanly into NUTS 3), I don't think it matters much, beyond the familiarity: people looking for extracts would be likely to be familiar with the classification. Caveat: in both cases, CZ02 and CZ020 are annular, with CZ01/CZ010 in the middle. I would suggest serving CZ02+CZ01 in a single extract.
