Whether using /120 is a good idea might have to be debated, but anyway..

I guess this is ISC DHCP.  It always assumes /64 and (effectively)
installs the given address this way:

# ifconfig nfe0 inet6 fd00::7d2/64 alias

A possible workaround is to rewrite dhclient-script to hardcode
"/120".  Another solution is to use a different DHCPv6 client
implementation.  (Although it's not actively maintained/enhanced
recently) I believe WIDE DHCPv6 should work for your purpose:
