I don't think that's the part that confused the OP. I think it is the
generic description section that encompasses all of the optional lookup
tables:

The Postfix mail system uses optional lookup tables.
These tables are usually in dbm or db format. Alterna-
tively, lookup tables can be specified in CIDR (Classless
Inter-Domain Routing) form.

I can see how that could be confusing in a man page specific to one of
those tables... "these tables" being taken to mean cidr_table(s), when
in fact "these" is referring to the optional lookup tables in general.
