Thanks again Roy. That makes sense.
It'll be interesting to see what things look like when I redo the
curves.

What I do is measure each gray against the next darker gray. There are two
reasons for this:
1) that's the transition that will happen on the print
2) measurements are more accurate. a 5% gray is a lot easier to measure
against a 10% gray rather than the 100% black.
However the numbers entered are always relative to black. So you multiply
the new factor by the factor of the darker gray. For example: measure a
dark gray to black and get 30%. Then measure a light gray against the dark gray
and get 40%. ; So the final values are K=100, DarkGray=30 and LightGray=12
since 40% * 30% = 12%
In practice its probably not a big deal for just 2 grays. When you get to 7 grays
I think it would be really hard to measure. The linearization later on tends to
fix up the transition too.
