my understanding is that in this situation you will need to request
delegation of the reverse mapping for each /24 from RIPE NCC.
I assume that you want to further delegate the reverse mapping of smaller
parts of this space to be administered by your customers.

There is a technique to support delegation of reverse mapping zones
that allows delegation for prefixes longer than /24, i.e. sub-C
using classfull terminology (and a description has been published as an
RFC this year).
Unfortunately there is no technique to really support non-byte-boundary
delegation for reverse mapping for /23 or shorter prefixes -  well, at least
no way that I know of.
