WHere can I research the coverage in greater depth, please?

I looked at the site. They don't say much about what is covered abroad, except to advise that one get travel insurance, even if out of coutnry for only a day. That suggests the coverage is minimal.

The site says very little about coverage while one is abroad, and advises travel insurance, which seems to suggest that the coverage is minimal.

I have never heard one can apply for coverage from abroad. have you tried to phone them? the best answer you can get only from them themselves.

As far as I know, there is no international coverage at all. You have to get private insurance.
