I can't recall why I wrote that to filter out things in the pg_toast namespace in the first place. I just took the easy way out here--the query has been updated to not exclude relations in that namespace anymore and I link to the TOAST docs for more details.

I consider combining all the values together, as you did in your example code and as pg_total_relation_size does, as a different type of report. Accordingly, I just updated with examples of both types, as well as something to work against pre-8.1 databases.
