Would this be acceptable then?

6.5.2.1(h): An LIR that received an initial allocation before the
availability of the /36 and /40 initial allocation sizes and holds
only that single IPv6 allocation is entitled to a one-time decrease of
their allocation size to /36 or /40.  Such an LIR will retain the
first (lowest numbered) subnet or the last (highest numbered) subnet
of their original block.
