If you have a chart, there are likely to be a pencil and a scrap of

converting individual legs to distances and then adding the numbers.
More accurate than an eyeball guess and not much work.

Do you see any need for a table of distances between all possible combinations
of ports? I think it's completely a fool's errand.

Of course not, get the info from a chart as needed.
