The 'fixed' part only applies to the reservation of the block to the primary holder. See that 'ASSIGNED PA' entry? - 'Provider Assigned'. Means that the holder may, and is *expected to* sub-assign chunks or individual IP from within that block, not use them itself. And some - or *all* of the sub-assignments may *still* be be for dynamic use. Nothing in the records prevents, it, and - in general - 'PA' suggests it is highly probable.
