I have no idea what you mean by the increasing indentation here.
But you can look at it this way if you like:
019 Americas
021 Northern America
013 Central America
029 Caribbean
005 South America
(021,013,029)----003 North America
(013,029,005)----419 Latin America and the Caribbean
While the 021/003 codes have caused no end of translation trouble in CLDR,
I think what is covered by 003 is what is more commonly referred to by a
specific term in various languages. Or so I gather from various
dictionaries/encyclopedias (including Wikipedia).
