The info is in the as-block object which whois.ripe.net returns in 
addition to the
aut-num object when you do a default query for an AS number.

For example for as43210 you get this:


as-block:       AS43008 - AS44031
descr:          RIPE NCC ASN block
remarks:        These AS Numbers are further assigned to network

remarks:        assignment policy is documented in:

remarks:        RIPE NCC members can request AS Numbers using the
remarks:        form available in the LIR Portal or at:

Only AS numbers which are covered by "RIPE NCC ASN blocks" have been 
assigned by RIPE NCC or transferred to RIPE NCC (like AS1707).
