So in principle what you will will need to do is create your own model for the filter and then in this model create a function _getItemsData. This function will create all the filter items that need to be shown, in your case the different ranges. Each item should be in the following format.

$data[] = array( 'label' => 'String To show for the filter', 'value' => $fromValue . '-' . $toValue, 'count' => 'How many items are in this range', );

When you create a filter block you can attach a model for calulating it's data via $this->_filterModelName = 'your/layer_filter_model';

How to add new filters I am not completely sure but once that has been sorted the key is getting the data items. You can look into how the price filter works and mirror this.
