FWIW, this is normal - you're not getting screwed over.

I'd strongly advise doing this now so you don't have to renumber  
later.  It shouldn't be hard to come up with a reasonable and  
truthful justification for an allocation of 14 usable IP addresses.

Relevant:

Also, how are you managing reverse DNS?  We at Cernio just worked out  
classless reverse DNS delegation with our colo provider for our /27  
and /26 IP allocations (totaling usable ~90 IPs) - I'd be happy to  
give you our notes on how this was done with BIND9.
