I suspect the RIPE NCC can't give an answer in 5 minutes as to how long it
would take to implement such a feature. So I think it is better to decide what
people really want and then ask the NCC to estimate the work required as part
of the NWI process.
Given that you are all managing with the system as it is right now, if it takes
a little bit longer to implement a slightly more complex feature that benefits
all LIRs, that may be better than going for a simple feature that only benefits
small LIRs.
But of course that depends if the bigger LIRs think this would be a useful
feature for them to use as well.

On one hand I do not want a feature creep thing either but I also want
something that will work for larger LIRs too while we are at it.
Could we get someone who knows about the website code to comment on the
feasibility of this?
Kind regards,
