There's no way Dasht-e Margo and Registan are the 8th and 9th deserts in the world, what's your source?

Might be a stretch, but it seems to be that Margo and Registan are the 8th and 9th largest deserts that are entirely in one country.

But I agree in any case, the phrasing must be flawed. And also in wrong order since Margo seems to be larger.
