The granularity of allocations is arbitrary, and when scraping the bottom of the barrel, where there are known problems, it may time to get more granular.
There's really no difference in managing a handful of /N's rather than /8's, if N is not that much bigger than 8.
You need to change the global policy to do that. ICANN staff cannot allocate anything more specific than a /8 right now because the policy requires IPv4 allocations to the RIRs be in /8 units. http://www.icann.org/en/general/allocation-IPv4-rirs.html Regards, Leo
