Except that you have now just black-holed the traffic if all that you
are receiving inbound from your downstream is a /23.  The two new /24s
to the black-hole are more specific and win.  You would need to set
your static route statements the next-hop to the down-stream, but this
is all defeating the purpose of setting up BGP.  What is the intent of
breaking up a nicely aggregated /23 to 24s?  If you are looking for
traffic engineering, potentially you could look to other methods such
as prepends and MEDs.
