I think the previous code would be more readable with a switch() 
statement. 

	switch (ctr[i].event) {
	case 2100 ... 2111:
		pmc_cntrl[1][i] = ctr[i].event + 19;
		break;
	case 2200 ... 2202:
	case 2204 ... 2215:
		pmc_cntrl[1][i] = ctr[i].event + 16;
		break;
	default:
		pmc_cntrl[1][i] = ctr[i].event;
	}
