Yes, go for it.

I assume the expected fragmentation aspect is due to future requests 
having to be made since the original assignment to the LIR was only a /32 
when something larger would have been useful.

Simply keeping the existing system of spacing assignments such that they 
can be expanded up to a /29 in future if required should avoid this 
problem.

You could probably space assignments for larger members such that they can 
expand to greater than a /29 in future if needed.
