Interesting! I'd tried to do the same modification but couldn't manage because 
there are several places where the information is stored (see end of that thread: 
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8029 ). 
Perhaps the trick is to disable the extension first.

If you want indeed to remove some locales, you've to:
1. Uninstall the extension
2. Tweak the extension and edit the dictionary.xcu file in the .oxt file
3. Re-install the extension

I've removed the locales
  French - Belgium
  French - Canada
  French - Luxembourg
  French - Monaco
  French – Switzerland
from dict-fr.oxt as follows  ->

1) Disable the dictionary extension in Extension Manager
2) Close OOo
3) Edit the dictionary.xcu file in
   <share\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\xx.tmp_\dict-fr.oxt>
->
<prop oor:name="Locales" oor:type="oor:string-list">
  <value>fr-FR fr-BE fr-CA fr-CH fr-LU fr-MC</value>
</prop>

change to
->
<prop oor:name="Locales" oor:type="oor:string-list">
  <value>fr-FR</value>
</prop>

in
<node oor:name="HunSpellDic_fr_FR-Classique-et-Réforme1990" oor:op="fuse">
<node oor:name="HyphDic_fr-FR" oor:op="fuse">
<node oor:name="ThesDic_fr-FR" oor:op="fuse">

4) Save the file
5) Open OOo and Extension Manager, enable the dictionary extension
6) Close OOo and restart

Voilà tout - it remains the locale French - France ...
Well - that's only a workaround  ;-)

Thanks for helping. Unfortunately, in the Extension Manager only appear
the French, English and Spanish dictionaries, while I have at least
another half a dozen I don't want.
Anyway, I'll search again.
If the installed extensions (default for version en-US) are ...  ->
dict-en.oxt
dict-es.oxt
dict-fr.oxt

... then the available languages are  ->

English - South Africa
English - UK
English - USA
French - Belgium
French - Canada
French – France
French - Luxembourg
French - Monaco
French – Switzerland
Spanish - Spain

I can not imagine how you could have other dictionaries
or available languages.
For more dictionaries/languages, there's only one way:
to install the dictionaries as extension.
