It's not a matter of convincing, it's a matter of demonstrating need.
If you're actually _using_ the four /24s, you can demonstrate a need for a
/22 today. So a good first step would be to use the four /24s until
they're full. Second step would be to apply to ARIN for a /22 to replace
them. Renumber into that. Then keep applying to ARIN for more space as
you need it.
