If you're not using officially-assigned addresses, why aren't you using RFC
1918 private addresses, e.g. the class B block 172.16.0.0

The special "classless in-addr.arpa" technique is normally only appropriate
if you're delegating a block smaller than a class C.  In your case you're
delegating entire class C-sized blocks, so you can do ordinary delegation.
In the 1.190.in-addr.arpa zone file, just put:

35 IN NS ...
36 IN NS ...
37 IN NS ...
38 IN NS ...
39 IN NS ...
40 IN NS ...
