Cogent does not support IRR. Since you're using IRR yourself, Richard Steenbergen's IRRPT (irrpt.sf.net) has a script called 'irrpt_nag' which is good for sending automated requests for prefix-list updates with providers that continue to process them manually. You can (and should) ask that Cogent's "Engineering" department okay you for support for de-aggregation down to the /24 level or more specific. They will with proper justification or a general feeling that you've got good reason and aren't just looking to gratuitously de-aggregate prefixes for no reason.
