Indeed RWU,
As TopBunk said, you are quite right. In different circumstances, I would be using 1.5 times the offset to give me my percentage and would indeed have had 90% of the mean wind. But as I said, 2/3 rds rounded upwards was easy at the time and as the wind was chaging so much (from 270/32 to 260/42 etc) with gusts making standard tasks difficult.....this worked for us in conjunction with the FMC which actually gave us 29 from the left just prior to touchdown. But your point is well taken as being accurate.
Cheers
