Try 'man dhcpd.conf', look for the section on classes and subclasses. 
That deals with setting up of classes (and subclasses) but based on 
MAC address.

Now, 'man dhcpd-eval' will tell you how to get a substring.

So what you will end up with, in it simplest form, is something like :

class "some-vendor" {
   match if substring(hardware,0,4)=1:aa:bb:cc);
}


...

subnet ....
   pool {
     allow members of "some-vendor" ;
     ....
   }
}

You'll have to check the syntax for that lot.


You can also do subclasses in much the same way, simply replace 
"hardware" in the example with "substring(hardware,0,4)" - and 
probably drop the "pick first value" stuff.

So you'd end up with :

        class "allocation-class-1" {
          match substring(hardware,0,4);
        }

        subclass "allocation-class-1" 1:8:0:2b;
        subclass "allocation-class-1" 1:0:0:c4;
