Currently ARIN WHOIS does not support CIDR queries. However, the 
information you desire can be obtain. The best way to get this, would be 
to query the following:

2001:0500*
2001:0504*

This would provide the information in list format. If you would like full 
details of all these allocations, query:

+2001:0500*
+2001:0504*

More information on how to use the ARIN WHOIS can be found in a tutorial
