Yeah the Caribbean is a good example, of lots of small Island nations playing sport together. My brother lived 6 years between Guyana & Suriname. Yes both countries are technically in Sth America, but really they are part of the Caribe.
Both really difficult to fly into, with limited flights. Panama the main transit hub for flights. Bro met Kane Williamson once in Tauranga (where he now lives), and he told Kane about his time in Guyana. KW having played in CPL, basically said 'why did you live in that sharkhole'.
And note it's mentioned above the OFC league will run January-May, so say 4 mths (16 weekends) and 14 league games. It might be that on average each team plays about 2 games over 7 days in each of the 7-8 locations.
Far from perfect, but a way to really cut down on costs, given it's likely a low commercial value (TV rights & other sponsors) league, with major air travel challenges.
But yeah you'd have to worry about the quality of the pitches if it rains and you are scheduled to have maybe 8 games (2 rounds) in one destination over say 7 days.
