r27012 implements this for you - it is in the OMPI trunk and should make it
into the 1.7.0 release.
The info keys you want are:
for item (1): "num_app_ctx"
for item (2): "first_rank" - returns a space-separated list of 1st ranks for
each app_context ("instance" in your terminology)
for item (3): "np" - returns a space-separated list of num procs for each
app_context
