That is an interesting question. Unfortunately, this is not how the 
Narrow Region plugin works. It basically only remembers for each each 
region the start and end regions in the original buffer. So it requires 
one continuous region.

But you want one region, that possibly consists of lines that are not 
continous in the original buffer. Now what should happen, if you insert 
line breaks and you write the buffer back. Where does the new line 
belong to?

I have to think about it how to implemented this.

Christian
