Indeed the only safe solution you have today is multiple /32s, not
because you need that much space, but because of filtering. If you cut a
single /32 in pieces and announce, say a /36 for each continent it will
be filtered to leave only the /32 pass, resulting in traffic from Asia
to the US /36 hitting your Asia site and then you have to carry the
traffic internally.

Multiple /32s when a /44 would have been enough :-(
