Can you clarify what is the issue ?

Here is the RT difinition in RFC4684:
+-------------------------------+
| origin as        (4 octets)   |
+-------------------------------+
| route target     (8 octets)   |
+                               +
|                               |
+-------------------------------+

There is only 8 octets left for route target.

Why do you need more ? RFC4360 is quite clear on route target format and it is 8 octets.

RFC4684 just talks about IPv4 or IPv6 next hops to be used as part of MP_REACH_NLRI. That has nothing to do with different RT format.

Cheers,
R.
