Yes. That is exactly what I would like to do, but the problem is that I can't receive new allocation from RIPE unless my current is used to its half. What I would like to do is receive a new, large PI for BGP use, so it won't be mixed with my aggregateable /16s. I will be more than happy to hear from RIPE how this can be done. It might be that all I have to do is send a 141 with a remark - FOR BGP CUSTS and that would be it, but I'm not really sure.

Yuval,
You could apply for PI (Provider Independant) address space. But you would still need to fill out a RIPE-141 outlining how you intend to use the address space. The other problem with PI space, is that a lot of the backbones don't like routing it unless you have a fairly large aggregate.
The issues are raised in http://www.ripe.net/docs/ripe-127.html

Hi all,
We would like to request another IP block from RIPE,

However, as far as I recall RIPE's procedure, one can request another IP allocation only after a certain percentage (50% AFAIR) of his allocation has been assigned.
So - am I the only person thinking this is the correct way to do that? Is it possible to request a block for such usage, regardless of
