First of all, one doesn't have to close/merge LIR if "can afford" it.
Moreover, existing LIR can (there is simplification here):
1. setup new LIR (withing the same organization; for example in another
country, part of country, with different funds, etc.),
2. send RIPE-425 form,
3. obtain another allocation (probably /32).
I assume, that in most cases this first IPv6 allocation is more than
enough and HD-ratio in this scenario is not used.
Note that there are organizations which (ab)use the current policy using
that method just to obtain another "initial" allocation and this is
exactly "you get as much address as you can afford" which is not a good
policy.
