I'm not sure I fully understand.

Classless Static Routes are mutually exclusive to the Routers and Static 
Routes options. You either have one or the other.

dhcpcd will always prefer Classless Static Routes as noted by RFC3442.
However, dhcpcd will still list both options when passed to the hooks and dump 
lease.
