That's a non-issue of your own invention. Again.

Argue if you like about what code those examples should get, but they have to get something because they are non-compliant.the thing I find laughable is to 'make a fuss' about (let alone 'code' as 'potentially dangerous and needing urgent attention') a few feet of non-RCD-protected new buried cable in an installation in which 95% of the buried cables are (without 'fuss') not RCD protected. Similarly with feeling the need to use an RCD socket for an additional one on a circuit which still has maybe a dozen or more non-RCD-protected sockets.
