There is no one size fits all answer ... one way would be to create a new subnet for resources ( server, printers, etc ) and connect that to a user resource via a router. but if you also have the option of supernetting like you said, to increase from 254 nodes to 510 or 1022, all on the same subnet if that is important to you.
