This contradicts the statement above that the maximum allocation or 
assignment is a /21, not a /24.  Or is it intended that the initial 
allocation or assignment is always a /24, but the recipient can later 
ask for more, up to a /21, with appropriate justification?

Or is it worded that way so that if an applicant comes back for a second 
(or subsequent) allocation/assignment under this section (for a second 
discrete network?) they may receive no more than a /21 in total?

Also, if the allocation or assignment is a /24, no more and no less, 
what is the point of the 2nd sentence that ARIN should use sparse 
allocation?  Is it so applicants taking a second dip will, if possible, 
get a contiguous /24 each time?
