That's not common practice; we've long had links that cross national
boundaries. The classic example is Europe/Vatican but there are several
others. Europe/Bratislava, for example has been a link to Europe/Prague
ever since it was introduced in 1993, and it's Slovakia's only
representative. There isn't a real need for a separate LMT placeholder
per country. They're just placeholders, after all.
