This rings alarm bells for me.

You (or your boss) may live to regret using multiples of 10 as boundary
points.  If the address-ranges are to be used in firewall  
configurations,
subnet assignments, or the like, power-of-two boundaries will be MUCH
easier to deal with, because the correspond to address prefixes.

Try 16-31, 32-47, etc.  It may be opportune to avoid the low and high
addresses in each assignment: 17-30, 33-46 ...
