Usually, one ringer handles about four bells, the equivalent to two white keys on the piano and the adjacent black keys.  This sufficiently covers the bells and keeps everyone busy.  However, the bells on the ends are not played as often on the average, so they are combined into one position.  This keeps the size of the choir down and also makes sure that nobody is "left out" simply because there is no part for the bells they play.
