You can actually use DHCPv6 to assign addresses to hosts dynamically
on longer than /64 networks.

However, you may have to go to some effort to add DHCPv6 support to
those hosts first.

Also, there is no prefix-length (or default router) option in DHCPv6,
so you have to configure the Router Advertisements with the longer
prefix length in this case.

It is perfectly possible to use RA *only* for the default router, and
not announce any prefix at all. This implies a link-local next hop.
