I can't figure this out to save my life. I have a 2nd block of public ips 69.30.xxx.xxx that I want to add to my server to assign the new ips to some of my vms and containers. Any push in the right direction? I'm not new to networking but not a pro either.

auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface enp131s0f0 inet manual iface enp1s0f1 inet manual iface enp1s0f0 inet manual iface enp131s0f1 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 173.208.xxx.xxx/29 gateway 173.208.xxx.xxx bridge-ports enp131s0f0 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 auto vmbr1 iface vmbr1 inet static address 10.0.0.1/24 bridge-ports none bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 auto vmbr2 iface vmbr2 inet static address 10.0.1.1/24 bridge-ports none bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 auto vmbr3 iface vmbr3 inet static address 10.0.2.1/24 bridge-ports none bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 auto vmbr4 iface vmbr4 inet static address 10.0.3.1/24 bridge-ports none bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0
 
How is this new network routed to you?

Forgive my networking ignorance, but how would i find this? I asked for a second group of IPs from my hosting provider and they added the second /29 block. Networking isn't my strong suit but I'm trying to change that.

Can you tell us the name of your hosting provider? Most of them have detailed documentation how routing is done which may help.

Additionally how do you assign IPs to your VMs currently (from your first subnet) and how do you want to assign them: Manually or via Proxmox internal SDN / IPset features?

Unless you need the VMs to be directly exposed to the internet the use of some form of router would be highly recommended here.
