Have a look at http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/faq/rkmax.html. If (say) with an RMT for the N of 1.6 a RKMAX of 6.5 is good enough, then when you reduce the RMT to 1.3 you can reduce the RKMAX to 6.5*1.3/1.6 = 5.28. This will not give you precisely the same relative convergence, but is close.
Another way is to say that an RKMAX of 7 is "OK" for RMTs of 2.0, an RKMAX of 3 for RMTs of 0.5, then interpolate using a straight line. This is similar.
