But always keep in mind that "the rest of the world" is in no way obliged
to accept what you're announcing.
We're currently not accepting more specific prefixes than a /24 (so the
/25s in your example would mean that this network is not reachable at all
from here!).
Depending on the routing table growth, we're currently considering not
accepting /24s at all, and maybe not accepting anything more specific
than a /20 in the ARIN blocks (where nothing smaller was ever given out).
So: always consider if you really want to fragment a perfectly nice and
shiny address block. What are the benefits, what are the risks and
costs.
