Assuming you never need to assign addresses in 10.31.3.0/24, this 
should work:

shared-network Broken-Huawei {
	subnet 10.31.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { }

	subnet 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
		... etc ...
	}

}

shared-network tells dhcpd to treat requests from all the enclosed 
subnets as equivalent, and assign an address in any of them.  If you 
only have pool/range/fixed-address statements that refer to 172.16, 
then only that will get used.
