All definable real numbers and all their possible representations are contained in that list. This list is a list of everything. The alphabets and the languages and the dictionaries are given in later lines. It is very probable that every line has many different meaning, but no line has uncounatbly many meanings. Therefore the list contains only countably many finite definitions. And obviously the list cannot be diagonalized - like every meaningful list of meaningfuls words.
