Not suggesting Ray's chart is incorrect, far from it, but user of the numbers should take into consideration the influence of Gain reduction, and greater sub numbers required for data build, as a trade off for the ultimately increased dynamic range.
If you're capturing 60" at unity then you should be taking considerably longer subs at Gain 50 than 35", longer than 60" in fact.
