To be fair, I think most usage is of the form "range of ____". Even the definitions provided illustrate this with "range of options", "range of opinions", "range of model railway accessories". The exception is "This jacket is part of our autumn/spring range", which is a formulation that I've personally never heard; I would generally expect "autumn/spring line".
