The long list means: select for each line with character "x" the page "x" and insert there "", the number # from the same line. There are pages 丿, 乀 and 乁 all with number 4. The short list means: select for each line with character "x" the page "Index:Chinese radical/x" and insert there "", again # from the line with the character. Only page Index:Chinese radical/丿 exists for number 4, the other two 乀 and 乁are redirects to 丿. This will be the procedure when you work from the list. Since no parent category exists of the affected pages yet ( the template could easily do the categorizing for such a category e.g. "Han character radicals" or so ), I do not know another possibility. May be you prefer to do both in one run from the "long list", either with the bot remembering when one number is done not to try the index page for further occurencies, or you check for existence anyway; then you will not need the "short list".
