The entire UK would be protected. However areas outside of Me-109 range need only be protected by second rate fighter aircraft like the Gloster Gladiator and Bristol Beaufighter.
The Gladiator would get minced by an Me110 and as far as I remember we only had two squadrons the beaufighter wasnt available until 1941. The North sea is a large area the fighters protecting it must be faster than the bombers by a substantial margin even with radar.
