Yep, I'd certainly have no issues with splitting out the 96x96 sizes and upwards. Icons bigger than 48x48 are rarely needed on most desktops, but we might want to keep the next size up (72x72) just in case-- they might be called into play on big hi-res displays. (Even the large print themes don't ship anything bigger than 48x48, although their design means they do scale up a little better, when called upon to do so.)
