LTC2917 Min/max watchdog timeout calculation

capacitor CWT sets the watchdog timer per:

page 7  "set a watchdog upper boundary timeout time of 72ms/nF."

and  page 12:  "CWT = tWD • 13.8 [nF/s]"

my CWT is a 10nF 16V  5% X7R 0402

10nF +5% = 10.5nF  for a  tWD of 761ms  per the 13.8nF/s equation

10nF -5% = 9.5nF   for a tWD of 684ms  

10.3nF cap yielded 608ms  watchdog timeout.  another 10nF cap yielded 650ms.   what is the best way to calculate the lower boundry WD timeout?

Thanks
