I think it would be reasonable that if an entity has merged from another lir... they have already recieved one or more /22s over and above what ripe intended. So these entities have already  benefited from gaining  additional ips

So it would be fair to exclude such lirs from getting another /22 under this policy proposal

I would imagine that the merged lir option is straightforward to police ?

Furthermore
Is there any way straightforward way to determine the maximum impact of this policy if every lir in ripe was to request an additional /22 ?

The issue of "multiple LIRs abuse" is much more complicated. If it isn't
solved it's because it's too complex. If we take into account mergers
and acquisitions (which is a policy in its own) things get even more
complex. That part is more related to business processes than anything
else.
But I do agree that it's something that should be fixed at some point.
