If I understand your question correctly - and I am not at all sure that
I do - you are asking whether it is better to have a single server for
reverse DNS for the 256 addresses in a /24 network, or to divide it up
into four (4) 64-address /26 networks.

All other things being equal, it is easier for the hostmaster to do it
as a single /24 network than four /26 networks.  But all other things
are rarely equal.  If the four /26 networks are administered by four
totally separate groups with their own hostmasters, it would often be
far easier to use RFC 2713 and delegate [note spelling] the reverse DNS
for the four subnetworks.
