Think of an IP Block as a block of network addresses assigned by ARIN or 
the like.  Every Subnet you define should fit completely inside an IP 
Block, and every IP Range should fit completely inside a Subnet.

You may find the documentation I wrote when UW moved to Maintain 2.x of 
some value:  http://nsbuild.uwaterloo.ca/doc/.  There are some localisms 
(e.g. like some others, we changed a few field names to reflect what's 
important for us to track) and it doesn't cover differences in version 
3, to which we can't upgrade until several of the current known bugs are 
fixed or have workarounds in place.
