Which version of POV is being used?

It should work fine with each normal added to the texture map entries. In
fact, checking it with POV-Ray 3.5 it is all continuous as seen on a
unit-sized sphere with a scale of 2 (instead of 200) then translated -x so
as to start the texturing at one side and end at another.

Perhaps what you are seeing happen is a consequence of not having the whole
texture scaled to fit and moved into position. Unlikely, since you probably
already set that up for the object as needed.
