Note that not all the tapes are exactly the same length.  and the
amount of data that can fit on a tape is even dependent on lots of
things, like the temperature, the number of "soft errors" etc.

It's better for amanda that the stated tapelength is one that fits
most of the time:  if one byte does not fit, the complete last part
needs to be redone on the next tape (that is a complete image,
a complete chunk if you use tape_splitsize in that dumptype).

So, I believe you actually got a very good value there already:
keep it on the safe side.
