How to do it:

You define different versions of the original clip (V1 - V12) using your desired filters.
You can assign nicknames to those versions.
You define the segments using the scmd parameter of the filter. Here you can define which frame ranges of the original clip should be replaced by which nicknamed versions.

You definitely need [AVSLib](http://avslib.sourceforge.net/) (the extension library for AviSynth — very old but very stable library) with very nice documentation, as you may see by clicking my link.

It has many-many useful features — in your case *arrays of clips* and functions for manipulating them, of course.

(Downloaded `.zip` file / `.exe` installer includes the same HTML documentation in an off-line form.)

Now, after some period of time, there are versions of AviSynth+ 3.6+, which support arrays.
So you may still use the script from your answer, although with some fixes, mostly in your syntax (you used C/C++ syntax ;-)):
original = Last
segments = [ \
    [ 0,  100, "high"], \
    [101, 200, "low" ]  \
]
clip = original.Trim(0, -1)             # a "base" 1-frame clip - see note 1
for (i = 0, segments.ArraySize-1, 1)    # syntax different from C/C++ - see notes 2, 3 
{
    clip = clip + original.Trim(segments[i,0], segments[i,1]).RemoveNoise(segments[i,2])
}
clip = clip.Trim(1, 0)                  # remove a “base” 1-frame clip 


Notes:

Instead of your BlankClip()
(which is a pitch-black 10 seconds RGB32 clip, 640×480, 24 fps, 16 bit 44100 Hz mono)
I "borrowed" the first frame of your original clip as a "base" clip:
clip = original.Trim(0, -1)

(0-frame clips are not allowed.)

Syntax for for block is different from C/C++:

commas (,) instead of semicolons (;),
the 2nd “parameter” is not a condition, but simply the upper limit,
the 3nd “parameter” is not a repeatedly computed expression, but simply the step.
(It may be omitted – the default step is 1).


The correct name of the function is not Size(), but ArraySize():
segments.ArraySize               # or segments.ArraySize()


There is no += assignment operator in AviSynth, so I changed your
clip += original.Trim(...)...

to
clip = clip + original.Trim(...)...


Instead of using indexes in the form segments[i][k] (which is OK), I used a shorter form segments[i,k].
