The instrument's own words
(a) £220 for all flights of 1500 kilometres or less; (b) £350 for all flights between 1500 and 3500 kilometres; (c) £520 for all flights not falling under (a) or (b).
That passage is the whole of what legislation.gov.uk publishes on this point on the section cited. It is reproduced here for reporting and comment; it is not advice, and it does not decide your claim.
Side by side, each in its own instrument's words. Where the two regimes differ, the difference is the point: a passenger flying between them can be covered by one and not the other on the same journey.
