On further thought, maybe I understand your points. Perhaps I misunderstood you before. Is a, b, c etc meant to represent lines or characters? If lines, then I understand you're representing a file with fairly complex changes.

I would propose showing every deletion (in the selected revision range) as a separate deletion. This is quite possible to do technically, but I agree the resulting output might become less useful for complicated change histories. This could be mitigated by:
* TBlame allows you to select a range of revisions.
* This feature should be optional, disabled by default, and enabled by e.g. a checkbox.
In my case, I would find it quite useful for some of my files, which I had in mind when I requested this feature. E.g. "I know I deleted 3 lines in this function in the last 3 months. What revision was that in?"
