Though poking holes in your ingress route filters isn't a good thing, you
really don't have any other options (when considering connectivity to the
destinations of the direct link to the customer becomes unavailable).
You should also note that depending on what range (first octet) the address
space is allocated from, the longer prefixes may be filtered by some
providers, which may cause problems if your link to the customer becomes
unavailable.
And don't forget, one /22 is still much better than four /24s :-)
