Your assumption that "tomcat will affectively see as a new entry" is wrong.
The string is used as whole to initialize a java.util.regex.Pattern().
Tomcat does not split it.

You may write a simple program / junit test to test how
java.util.regex.Pattern() processes your value.  Or you may run Tomcat
with debugger,

https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Troubleshooting_and_Diagnostics#Common_Troubleshooting_Scenario

AFAIK, '\|' in a regular expression will be interpreted as expecting
literal '|' character in the matched string.  No IP address has this
character so none will match.
