From the man page:
Nmap also has a more powerful notation which lets you specify an
IP address using lists/ranges for each element. Thus you can
scan the whole class "B" network 192.168.*.* by
specifying "192.168.*.*" or "192.168.0-255.0-255" or
even "192.168.1-50,51-255.1,2,3,4,5-255".
I don't know if that's what you need?
