I've came across the same issue while doing some research for CAIDA. You
have to bear in mind the locations where the BGP dumps are taken are
"vantage point", so you will get a view of the network from that point.
If you collect enough vantage point, you will reach a state when you can
"see" mostly everything.

What I did at that time was combine various sources from RouteViews and
RIPE RIS (http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/stats/ris/ris-raw-data) until
reaching an acceptable level of coverage.
