The intention of the first measurement is to check the actual reachability of the root zone name servers from probe resolvers. This is a measurement which was requested by the K-Root operations team within the RIPE NCC, and is intended to show the reachability of the root zone servers in general given issues with a particular root letter. These measurements will indeed be constructed in a way similar to how you suggested: <probe_id>.atlas.ripe.net.<random>.
