this might be a case of the UK and the US being separated by a common
language. We are talking about allotments here, not parcels, which are
something completely different. We DO map allotments in OSM since, well,
a long time ago. Taking this to one more level of detail by going to
individual plots is to much micromapping for my taste, but tastes are
different ...

Allotments are by definition cultivated gardens, so landuse=allotments
is IMHO in the right place in tag space. The proposed plots would be a
subdivision of the allotments area, so putting it in landuse MIGHT be ok.
