The simplest way to do this sort of things is

deny hosts = /etc/exim/bad_hosts

where bad_hosts contains:

81.2.2.0/24
218.1.5.3
64.4.2.64/28

and so forth.

You can also use a hostlist, or put them all inline as you have above.
I tend to prefer a file for this sort of thing, as it means I can edit
the file without having to remember to HUP exim.
