Alex -

This aspect (being able to take /36 from your existing block) has been corrected, 
i.e. you may return portions of your original IPv6 /32 such that you are left with 
a contiguous /36 and ARIN will recognize the new total  IPv6 holdings and invoice 
accordingly (i.e. only for /36 of IPv6 space)

Apologies for the earlier confusion on this point; we have been trying to avoid making
"holes" in the IPv6 sparse allocation buckets but also realize the need to be flexible 
in circumstances such as these - thanks for raising the issue.

FYI,
