A subnet must have n leading 1's in its netmask.  Therefore it contains
2**(32-n) addresses.  Grab ftp://ftp.ocs.com.au/ipcalc.pl.gz (Perl 5)
or ipcalc.tcl.gz (Tcl/Tk 8).

The best you can do is join subnets 3 and 4 together.  Joing 2, 3 and 4
would give 192 addresses which is not a power of two therefore you
cannot join 2, 3, and 4.
