Honestly I'm more surprised that the border with Belgium is longer than the border with Spain

I think it's just measuring the longest contiguous border.

The border with Spain has Andorra in the middle

There isn't a 2nd number on the east side of Andorra so I think the 623 is the total with Spain.

Could be or it's just counting the longest border they share

During the times of Caesar, Belgica started just north of Paris.
