I lived in such a closet one summer a couple of years ago. If I'm getting this terminology right, they had an entire 16-bit block to themselves (65k addresses).

Company I just left after 12 years had an entire /8 and a /16. One of the projects I worked on in 2014 was moving a lot of the stuff out of the /16 (which had been owned by a subsidiary that was bought almost 20 years ago) and into the larger subnet.

I heard rumors that they were going to renumber out of the /8 and start using RFC1918 addresses for all "internal" (non-Internet-facing) stuff in the next couple of years.
