Not to hundreds, but I would expect a large multinational with operations in most countries to deaggregate down to something close to one per country, to keep its traffic patterns reasonably local. That's nothing new.
Breakouts done from PA space is normal in ARIN-land, but it's less common in RIPE land for instance.
We need to make sure renumbering is easy, otherwise we're going to see more and more entries going into the DFZ BGP table. The /24 boundary and IPv4 scarcity was a natural hindrance for this in IPv4, we need to create equal "hindrance" for de-aggregation in IPv6 otherwise I fear that we're going to sit with millions of routes in IPv6 DFZ in 10-20 years.
Unless of course this is a cheaper way of handling things than making renumbering possible.
