That only works if the experiment is for a non-commercial service:

    "Resources issued must not be used for commercial purposes during
     or following the conclusion of the experiment."

If the service is commercial then it could not benefit from this kind  
of assignment.

If the fees aren't a problem then the easiest way to get the address  
space might be to sign up as an LIR, get the minimum allocation and  
break it up. It's not the most elegant solution but it should work.

That being said, it would be nice to have a policy that didn't  
encourage people to do that sort of thing.
