I think you've got it, more or less. Take this example from the Chicago Manual
of style (https://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/CHIIndexingComplete.pdf):

"World War I 34-61"

Such a big range would be tedious to index every page, but no problem if you
only had to index the first and last page of the range.
