Like this…


start = ipv6-address-or-prefix / ipv4-address-or-prefix

ipv6-address-or-prefix = #6.54(ip-address-or-prefix<128, 16>)
ipv4-address-or-prefix = #6.52(ip-address-or-prefix<32, 4>)

ip-address-or-prefix<L,S> = ip-address<S> / ip-prefix<L, S>

ip-address<S> = bytes .size S
ip-prefix<L, S> = [0..L, bytes .size (uint .le S)]


(I wish we had a .times!  
No I won’t cobble that together out of three .plus — or maybe we should?)

Or, if you like to repeat yourself superfluously saying the same thing twice redundantly again all over:


start = ipv6-address-or-prefix / ipv4-address-or-prefix

ipv6-address-or-prefix = #6.54(ipv6-address / ipv6-prefix)
ipv4-address-or-prefix = #6.52(ipv4-address / ipv4-prefix)

ipv6-prefix = [ipv6-prefix-length, ipv6-prefix-bytes]
ipv4-prefix = [ipv4-prefix-length, ipv4-prefix-bytes]

ipv6-prefix-length = 0..128
ipv4-prefix-length = 0..32

ipv6-prefix-bytes = bytes .size (uint .le 16)
ipv4-prefix-bytes = bytes .size (uint .le 4)

ipv6-address = bytes .size 16
ipv4-address = bytes .size 4
