Can you recommend a specific Extended Community Type and Subtype for
this purpose? Or maybe point me at a standard that defines something
akin to "32bit:32bit"-style (64 bits in total), much like how many
networks use "16bit:16bit" as I described?

It would also be helpful if you can point me at publicly-known
deployments of such schemes based on Extended Communities.

Alternatively, we can accept that "the community thing" is not a red
herring. Acknowledging the tangible difference between 16-bit and 32-bit
ASNs should help the discussion at hand.

Kind regards,

Job
