I understand this problem. I just fail to see how this relates to RIPE,
multi-level allocations and a deeper registry hierarchy.

If you mix assignments from 17 LIRs in a single AS then the LIRs have
to cooperate so that you can aggregate routes as necessary. How would
another level or registry help ?
