I wouldn’t bother. Modern LTO drives (any made in lay 10 years) auto detect end of volume. I do t use this setting at all with my two drives and it auto sorts it out.
This is important because the 15T quoted assumes compression of a given ratio. That can very drastically. If you use client side compression you won’t see any compression at all. Similar if most your data are video and doesn’t compress well. If it’s all text emails you will get more than listed. Let the drive auto detect and it will work the best. I think this is one of the things you can test with the btape command. Highly recommend you run all the tests in btape abd make sure they pass. I only use max volume size with disk volumes.
