Hi Eddie1
To answer your question (based on my understanding of the system so could well be wrong!) yep if you keep raising the lever the good engine will continue to provide more power right up to 128% TQ (and beyond if you droop the Nr below 95%)
Whilst we aim to keep both engines below 75% TQ (on a T2) as we come to the hover, FLI 10 is actually a gearbox rather than an engine limitation so the good engine is not exceeding its limitations by going into the 2.5 minute power band. That is not to say that you won't reduce the life of that engine by using more than FLI 10, that would be up to your engineers and the TM manuals. However a mis-handling of the manual throttle leading to an overspeed or overtemp may well write the engine off!
Ox, I also find it helpful to raise the lever while in stable flight to get an FLI reading of just under 10 on the good engine. If you then note the N1 of the good engine that will give you a maximum N1 figure to open the manual throttle up to for landing.
Hope that helps.
