Forgive my ignorance but how can a 1% reduction in main rotor RPM result in a 2% reduction in TR RPM the ratio is fixed by the gearing but % changes affect each equally.

a 1% change in NR will result in a 1% change in TR RPM.

No argument that less TR thrust and thus reduced control margin but as percentages they will be the same.
