Answered my questions. Thanks!

If I was custom mixing a set of 3 black inks, I would probably set 
the light and medium a bit higher, like 65 to 75 for LLK and 50 for 
LK. That would give you better control in the highlights, to fill in 
the mid tones just overlap the LK and K a little bit longer. Yes it 
would give you more ink on the paper with this method, but if you 
aren't dealing with full color this shouldn't be much of an issue. 
But this is just the way I would probably do it.
