Or just change RIPE NCC fee model so if a LIR holds multiple /22s
allocated from the last /8, it is charged with a service fee for each
such /22.

That will allow transfers and merging, but it will discourage trading of
such prefixes, because for an acquirer it would be significantly more
costly to keep such prefixes and therefore prefixes from the last /8 will
be sqeezed out of the market by a supply of other 'old' IP prefixes. That
will discourage seculative opening of additional LIR accounts (or
creating sockpuppet companies) for the purpose of selling received IP
prefixes later.
