I would hope that they're allocating independently from geographical
location! Why make hash of your routing advertisements just because two
networks are in physical proximity? It's what transit provider they're
using that counts.

Dozens of /24s can be grouped into a single BGP advertisement and a
single routing table entry if you simply ignore geography and go by
transit provider.
