In some circumstances, deaggregation of your rir-assigned prefix might lead to partial reachability (some networks filter on rir minimum assignment sizes - not a problem in itself, but some unclever networks exist, that don't additionally take a default).

Whatever you announce, make sure it's irr registered too, for the networks who transit or peer with you, who automatically build pfx filters.
