Nope, that's the wrong way of doing it.
You still need to stick to the Restore point value and not the percentage of that specific mask.
So instead of using "the percentage from the last mask", you need to use the restore point value of the last mask.
That's the only way that is guaranteed to work everything else might just be totally wrong.
(You can't just use some value a little bit lower than the percentage and hope that it will work nevertheless because it won't in most of the cases - because it is the wrong way of doing it - ... you risk of not cracking/skipping a lot of hashes that otherwise would crack using the only acceptable approach)
