Can you describe in more detail the situation or scenario you are concerned about?

I believe this means "you can get a 24-month supply via 8.3 specified (intra-ARIN) or 8.4 (inter-RIR) transfer, or some combination of the two if necessary."  This would be independent of any space acquired via 8.2 (M&A) transfer, and would not represent any chance from current policy or operational practice AFAICT. 

Are you worried about people needing to fill their 24-month need by doing a combination of 8.3 specified (intra-ARIN) and 8.4 (inter-RIR) transfers? Or are you worried about the interaction with 8.2 (M&A) transfers?

This does not prevent ARIN from suggesting that a smaller block would be justified where a larger one would not, but also does not suggest that it is ARIN's sole discretion to judge the size of the blocks needed.
