When we are allowing out-of-region usage, there is a desire to verify
that organizations aren’t “double-dipping” and getting numbers from
more than one RIR for the same address need.

Again, the intent here isn’t to dictate what you can and can’t use to
justify resources, but, to at least make a good faith effort at indicating
that you’re not supposed to use the need for 1,000 addresses to get
5,000 addresses, 1,000 from each RIR. If you want to get 200 addresses
from each RIR, no problem, or however else you want to mix and match
within reason.

I don’t think there is an intent to avoid the utilization you have or in any
way prohibit that. The intent is to avoid double-dipping from two RIRs for
the exact same need.
