I don't see where testing routing routing softare requires a /32.  There
is no reason why you can't have multiple BGP peers, take full routes from
them all and announce your /48 to them tagged with "no-export".  I
recently posted a configuration example that addresses just this very
thing.

What part of your testbed requires that your testing show up as an
announcement in the routing table of every IPv6 BGP speaker operating in
the Default Free Zone?
