Seeing as noone else has posted anything, you can have my thoughts.
I think the answer to this part is not trivially. A machine in the /20 subnet
will expect to be able to talk directly to a machine within the /22, but that
machine will want to talk via a router. You can hide subnets within subnets
using arp-proxying, but I'm not sure there's an easier way.
A machine within the /22 would be able to talk to any other machine within
that /22 (even if they're configured to use /20), but won't be able to happily
talk to machines within the /20 but outside of the /22.
