If you partition a PA block, the result is PA. If you partition a PI block, the result is PI. (Though I wonder if "LIR-PARTITIONED PI" is actually a real thing, and strictly speaking the documentation quoted *can not* be correct, because you can't partition "an allocation" into "PI") More verbose explanation on these values is here: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2001-September/001732.html Section "Functionality".
