No :-)

192.0.2.0/24
192.0.2.0/25
192.0.2.0/26
...
192.0.2.0/32

... this is what I called "nesting in depth", and the limit is 8.

Filling each level (192.0.2.0/32, 192.0.2.1/32, 192.0.2.2/32, ... .255/32)
is what I called "width" - and of course, you can add hundreds of object
that way, without mentioning "SUB-ALLOCATED" at all (just tag the /32s
as "ASSIGNED").

The former ("limit=8") would be capped by introducing a limit to the
nexting level ob sub-allocations.

The latter not so much.
