Along with "it depends" - some anecdotal information...

When I was calibrating my UV box (get a transmission step wedge, they're
cheap and you'll know you're doing it right) I found that +- about 2-3
steps would still come out usable.  That works out to a 50% to 200%
exposure.

So there's a pretty big range of "works" with a smaller sweet spot in
the middle that you should aim for.
