As Chris Buxton pointed out, you lost a few necessary 0s & need "0.2" on the
tail instead of "20".

Provided you get the syntax right, any of those can work.

Choose whatever level of delegation is convenient.  We do most of ours at the 
/64 boundary, but we do some sparse subnets delegated at /56 & such to avoid 
having a bunch of zones with almost nothing in them.
