And to folow up to my own response...

I wonder if one should "overengineer" the numbers in the
lab? For example, would it be a bad idea to subnet network
B for exactly 30 hosts or make it 62 hosts "for growth"? In
the real world you might. Should you worry about it in the
lab environment? Probably not, I would hope.
