The create command via cidr is just a convienience to create a bunch of 
floating ips at once, floating ips are actually individual entries in the db. 
It should skip the network and gateway addressses by default, but it is 
perfectly acceptable to delete individual addresses with

nova-manage floating delete 10.243.30.17 (for example)

You need to leave off the /XX to specify a single address.
