That's how I would do it. With the exception of LACNIC, each one neighbors a block that is already allocated to that RIR.
But if they wanted to do that, why give 106/8 to APNIC?
I assume you mean 102/8, and because it is right next to 101/8, which they already have. Doesn't make a nice /7, but there are no other unallocated blocks that are next to any APNIC blocks.
My suspicion is that IANA is playing a game of battleship with the RIRs and thursday we'll see who's won. Colored in for your convenience:
Doesn't really matter who gets what, because no one is going to route anything larger than a /8 anyway, particularly the RIR allocations. Just kinda fun to think about :-) -Randy
