Something that has been overlooked is the number of bits in each
section. How was this number determined? Is it the right number of bits
for each level? Is there a technical reason for sticking with octet
boundaries here? Does there need to be an actual boundary between the
RIR and LIR section at all?

I think that the RIR section has too many bits (there are 5 of them) and
the LIR section has too few.

It seems to me that the boundary between RIR and LIR should be left
unspecified. IANA can allocate chunks of whatever size is needed to RIRs
as those needs arise.
