If you want to subnet it then you'll need a router to have an IP address in
each subnet. But that shouldn't be a problem.
Have 1..14 as one subnet (15 is broadcast) and have 17..30 as another.
For the rest the best thing to do is to have a router that sends fake ARP
responses so that the rest of the machines can consider themselves to be in
a /24.
