A /32 ist the minimum(!) size allocated to ISPs.  Even to the smallest ISPs
around, as long as they become member of their respective RIR.

If you are "a large network" (in number of customers, not in physical/
geographical network size), you'll get a much larger number of addresses.

Allocations of /19.../26 to big mass-market ISPs are regularily seen.
