DHCPv6 addresses have no prefix length, they are just an address, so
always a /128.
What you need to do is advertise a /64 prefix, but with the M bit set
and the AUTOCONF bit disabled.
That way the hosts you want off the IPv6 network will be aware of the
prefix, but won't have a global address on it.
