Well, that's simple to understand - there is no residue called "266" in 
your model.

You must be mistaken. Are you sure the residue doesn't have a chain ID, 
e.g. "266:A" ?

Sure - the selection constructor can take multiple sets of atoms, e.g.

return selection(self.residue_range('1:', '10:'),
                 self.residue_range('20:', '30:'),
                 self.residue_range('40:', '50:'))
