It's actually a pretty small prefix in the IPv6 world. The recommendation for an IPv6 network is to be at least a /64, because features like SLAAC, which mostly replaces DHCP, need a /64 prefix to work properly. If you have multiple networks, it's standard to use a separate /64 prefix per network. My ISP for instance gives every home user a /56 prefix, some ISPs even give out /48 prefixes.
