I also had a clash trying to set up a VPN between my house and my
girlfriends flat at University.  The guy who set the network up for the
four users chose 192.168.0.0/16 which conflicted with a reasonably random
IP range.   I had already changed the range once that had conflicted with
a /24 range.

I can see that it makes sense to keep it down to a level even to five or
six times as many as you may need. :-)

Kind regards
