PDG-GW can use DHCPv6 PD to ask for a pool of addresses it uses for UEs (or
it may have a locally provisioned pool), and from where it can further
delegate prefixes downstream (in DR role) to those UEs that implement RR
function.

Yes! That is one big reason for existence of draft-ietf-dhc-pd-exclude-03
that optimizes routing entries in these kinds of scenarios on 3GPP accesses,
but also elsewhere - there was interest from fixed side for this as well.
The exclude option optimizes routing entries on gateway but with a
deployment-scenario/network setup dependent possible tradeoff of increased
address space usage.

Did you look at the 23.401 V10.4.0 (the latest version) section 5.3.1.2.6
that says it clearly: "The PDN GW acts as the DHCP server and fulfils the
role of a "Delegating Router" according to RFC 3633".
