It's not random, although it may sometimes appear that way. There are certain blocks assigned to different areas, but as areas expand new blocks are added. These are generally from whatever large RIPE-assigned block we're currently working through, currently 82.xx

So an area may have an original 213.106.x.x range, then subsequently be extended with an 80.x range, an 81.96 range and an 82.x range. Because these are all available simultaneously, you could get an address from any of them.
