OSPF is not the only routing protocol with "advanced" subnet support:

BBN has extended the SPF-based routing protocol used by the BBN T/20 Internet
Router and the RIG(developed for DARPA and RADC) to use arbitrary hierarchical
subnet masks, in which the mask bits need not be contiguous.  It will handle
the separated subnet scenario with no problems.
