As I understand it, you have many clients all located on the same physical
ethernet.

Make the declarations match the physical situation.

Alternately, you can define networks which are larger than
a Class C. For example,
# Network with ~1000 clients
subnet 10.51.40.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
range 10.51.40.10 10.51.43.254;
option routers 10.51.40.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0; }
