Hello Mark,
yes - but do remember that RIPE has allocated smaller blocks up to /29 in certain corners of the IPv4 space:
91/8: /29 193/8: /29 194/7: /29
I was not aware about that. However, RIR policy is typically separate from operator policy. I'm not sure whether operators are going to be accepting IPv4 routes longer than a /24. It was spoken about for a long time, as we all knew this day would come. But considering how expensive line cards are, I'm not overly optimistic it will happen (or happen quickly, widely). Mark.
