Description
I wonder if it makes sense to allow to specify 0 in the "Number of subnets" so that the rule does not trigger the creation of a new subnet but just assigns new IP addresses to a device from the main subnet.
Somewhat related to #842.

Start by locating the subnet division rule and its handling of the "Number of subnets" setting, then read related issue #842 for context. Confirm the existing behavior and tests before defining the change. Done means allowing 0 to skip creation of a new subnet while assigning new device IP addresses from the main subnet.
