I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here - is there any reason why
they wouldn't «fit into this rule»?

The LIRs in question had probably used over 80% of their current
allocations (if they had any), documented their need for IPv4 addresses
for the coming three months, and received allocations to cover that
need. In other words, there's probably nothing special about them at
all. It's still more or less business as usual at the NCC, as we've not
yet reached the last /8.
