Wait...  you had started using bogon addresses /  "squatted" space not
allocated  and claimed
the number of IP addresses your network is using that were not
allocated by a RIR
settles the need justification question?

Work with ARIN to provide a satisfactory need justification for the
entire allocation you are requesting.
A mere count of the number of IP addresses you are currently using is
not a need justification.

There has to be a technical reason that each IP address is required.

"I'm making IANA-unsanctioned use of 10^9 bogon IP addresses,  please
allocate me 10^9 proper IP addresses, so I can  have matching
allocated IP space with global recognition instead";  just doesn't cut
it.

You need to have all the documentation to show the actual justified
technical need for the IPs you request,  such as what each specific
address is used for.
