Yep. For someone with non-RIPE NCC numbers the only manual part of the process is getting a maintainer object created. 
Once you've done that it's likely that your new parent route object in the RIPE db will be something like this:

inetnum:        199.91.32.0 - 199.255.255.255
netname:        NON-RIPE-NCC-MANAGED-ADDRESS-BLOCK
