I can't think of anyone that does that, mostly because it'd be a pain in the ass to get those IPs routed properly. There are just too many BGP speakers out there that don't properly handle un-aggregated BGP announcements, and do other silly things. Your best bet, if you're big enough, is to get a direct allocation from ARIN (assuming you're in the United States or Canadia). If you're multihomed, like you probably should be :D you can get allocations as long as a /22 (four class Cs). If not, I think the minimum allocation is a /20 (sixteen class Cs).
