This assumes that ARIN won't be giving you /19 out of a reserved /17 (or
/16) and then giving you the other half of the /18, then the other half of
the /17, etc, so all you need to do is change your prefix length not the
number of announcements.
Also your plan doesn't work so well, since ARIN will be charging you a
member ship fee based on your expected *yearly* allocation.
