The issue with doing anything with a prefix larger then /64 is that you 
lose SLAAC, so forget about auto-configuration of devices, so think 
carefully.

I'd suggest asking your ISP, but I'm guessing if you're not using native 
IPv6 it maybe because your ISP is one of those...

I'm unsure about IPv6 providers, like to rent a /48 /52 /56 even a /60 
(o Lord, what would I give for native /60) I guess a search for that on 
you region on Google would yield something.
