The result of Save as Passage List in the Parallel Passages section for Mt 24:1 is less than helpful:-
A few passages dominate the important ones.
Dave, all of the references found in the section are merged together to prevent duplicated/overlapping references. If this wasn't done, then your passage list for the above would look something like:
To me, this seems redundant and not useful.

There shouldn't be duplicate references but overlapping allows for quick editing if necessary e.g.
It is meaningless when all the Mt references are summed as Mt 24-25, and all the Mk references are summed as Mk 13:1-37.

This is an interesting question. I created a passage list like this very recently (using the clipboard), and had my passage list dominated by two very large passages (Gen 1:1-2:15, and Gen 1:1-2:7, from memory). I deleted them as they were both unhelpful. If you had merged beforehand, I would have lost all the smaller passages (Gen 1:1-2, Gen 1:6-7, etc.), which is not what I would have wanted.
I don't really have a solution to this problem, other than to confirm Dave's point that generally, I don't want long passages in my passage list, I prefer to have the smaller chunks.
Thanks for the feedback on this feature. Our designers are taking a look at this issue and we will likely be making some changes to the behavior in a future beta.
I strongly agree with Mark and Dave on this.
This will be fixed in 5.2 Beta 2.
