There is a VERY serious flaw in this plan.
The effective pricing drops with size. Yet the registry is
technically required to be stingy in its IP allocations.
Can you say "lawsuit"? I knew you could.
Imagine if ivory sold large bars and small bars and the small
bars were more cost effective. Then they would only sell you a small bar
because you wouldn't need the large bar for a few months, thus causing
you to pay more.
Think about it.
