I think the def is more comprehensible if we collapse all the country abbr. senses into a single gloss.

Also, I think /also pr. [a4]/ can be deleted. I am not seeing dicts saying that in either of the two senses of our definition, 阿 is pronounced a4. For example, LA does not mention anything about an a4 pron, while Key says that for the a4 pron, 阿 is a "Manchu name prefix".
Diff:
- 阿 阿 [[a1]] /prefix used before monosyllabic names, kinship terms etc to indicate familiarity/used in transliteration/(bound form) Afghanistan (abbr. for 阿富汗[A1fu4han4])/(bound form) Albania (abbr. for 阿爾巴尼亞|阿尔巴尼亚[A1er3ba1ni2ya4])/(bound form) Algeria (abbr. for 阿爾及利亞|阿尔及利亚[A1er3ji2li4ya4])/(bound form) Argentina (abbr. for 阿根廷[A1gen1ting2])/also pr. [a4]/
+ 阿 阿 [[a1]] /prefix used before monosyllabic names, kinship terms etc to indicate familiarity/(bound form) abbreviation for country names beginning with 阿, e.g. 阿富汗[A1fu4han4] "Afghanistan"/
