I would call this "bending the policy".  Even if you do sub-allocations, 
the assignment rule of "maximum of a /48 per site" still holds (and the
NCC is going to ask the LIR questions about this).

Of course, if the customer actually *has* two sites, two /48s would 
obviously be fine.

(And yes, I'm aware that "site" isn't one of the best-defined terms)
