There are precisely 256 /24's in each coordinator's block, -2 for
broadcasts and (initially) only 64 of them were assignable by the
coordinators directly. How many hams are in your area? Do they all
actually need a /24? When distributed across a populated region, whole
/24's can become a commodity. Each /24 assignee effectively becomes a
sub-coordinator.
I regard the granularity of the automatic routing protocols to be a
defect when it comes to masking for blocks smaller than /24.
