Entitlements. 2ha. Worth it?

Last year I started doing the claim for a dead neighbour's farm and found that two small fields, entirely surrounded by other fields, weren't mapped in his claim - and never had been since the current system started.

So I got them mapped. About 2ha.

But now he (or his estate) has 2 ha more land than he has entitlements for.

Is there still time for me to acquire or lease 2 ha worth before this year's claim? Would it be worth the trouble? - or the investment?
