is there a need for the ROA object to be identical in length to the route object?

take 41.213.128.0/21 is a RIPE-NOAUTH route object
and there is a valid ROA from AFRINIC for 41.213.128.0/17 max length 24

There is a RIPE policy to cleanup conflicting route(6) objects in the NONAUTH database:

If you can create a ROA for the Afrinic prefix, a cleanup job will delete any conflicting route(6) for you.
