Sure you can. People do this all the time. "Give" just means that
the PI recipient allows their customer to use a /29. There is no
transfer of ownership because there is no ownership.

RIPE rules only cover "assignment" of addresses to customers,
not "giving", "using", "delegating" or any other term. The only
people who really understand the distinctions between assignments
and allocations, are the people who deal directly with RIPE.
For everyone else, the world is many shades of grey.
