Just tell me how to do it better.

We are advertising 2 /20 which can be (theoretically) aggregated 
to one /19

The reason for doing this is simple:
First /20 is in US, second /20 is in VE
and I want to advertise Venezuelan part (and only this)
to some local VE provider in addition to NetRail.

If I would advertise aggregated /19 to NetRail,
I would receive all traffic for this multihomed /20
only from second VE provider, as more specific advertisement
would be preferred in route selection process.

Maybe they are doing the same.

Netrail's unnecessary deaggregated routes.
