Flight's outside the NAT system

Can anyone tell me how flights are planned / routed that operate outside of the North Atlantic Tracks. i.e Europe to the Caribbean?

Random Routes

All flights which generally route in an eastbound or westbound direction should normally be flight
planned so that specified ten degrees of longitude (20°W, 30°W, 40°W etc.) are crossed at whole
degrees of latitude; and all generally northbound or southbound flights should normally be flight
planned so that specified parallels of latitude spaced at five degree intervals (65°N, 60°N, 55°N etc.) are
crossed at whole degrees of longitude.
All flights should plan to operate on great circle tracks joining successive significant waypoints.
