I think the martimie terr is an EEZ, and not territorial sea.
Which means a foreign naval presence can move through it.
But the point of rragments is that they disrupt normal administration and
travel and trade etc because there is a rupture of foreign territory or sea
or lake or unbridged river.
The greater this is in width, the harder the administration.
Even in territorial sea, someone can come in and suck up the water, and you
can't do anything about it. But if someone comes on to your land and starts
digging holes you can.
Holes of high seas within an EEZ create administrative problems as ANYONE
must be given access to those holes, which allows them to fish illegally in
your waters on the way through, and it is harder to manage stocks of fish
etc because of that free-fishing hole.
Once islands like Denmark's are connected by bridges, the administration
problems begin to disappear.
