Wait, 192/8 contains 2^(16-8=8) = 256 /16s.
Each /16 contains 2^(24-16=8) = 256 /24s.
256 * 256 = 65536 (give or take a few which "mean something" special).
65536-24000=41536.
Not pretty, but not definitively router death.

So are you of the "one-route-per-provider, but only 10-20 provider"
school of thought?
