this seems like a case where you might need "shared-network".
dhcpd(8) has this...
Some installations have physical networks on which more than one IP subnet
operates. For example, if there is a site-wide requirement that 8-bit
subnet masks be used, but a department with a single physical Ethernet
network expands to the point where it has more than 254 nodes, it may be
necessary to run two 8-bit subnets on the same Ethernet until such time as a
new physical network can be added. In this case, the subnet declarations
for these two networks may be enclosed in a shared-network declaration.
