Our RF team measure the combinations of output power one by one for each
regulatory domain, so I think there is no a rule or pattern to generate
one from another one.
More, if we convert it to a reduced table and use the table, it will
be hard to align with our internal tables. Even, it becomes harder
to understand the patch if we "compress" the table in some ways.
I will discuss with our RF team if we can have any improvement of the size,
but still readable.
