The diagram represents bit layout of the multi-bit VLAN update message format. Typically these diagrams are drawn using some power of 2 as the base, to more easily grasp where fields split. Although the numbers above can make it somewhat easy to understand which bit you're looking at, it makes the break points not line up. Re-draw the numbers using base 8, and mark the bit values every 8 bits at the top. This should make it more easy to grasp the table quickly.
