John,
I would not recommend that you "overengineer" the lab. Provide exactly what
they ask for or you will loose points.

And to folow up to my own response...
I wonder if one should "overengineer" the numbers in the
lab?  For example, would it be a bad idea to subnet network
B for exactly 30 hosts or make it 62 hosts "for growth"?  In
the real world you might.  Should you worry about it in the
lab environment?  Probably not, I would hope.
