The spreadsheets just illustarte the idea of how you can tailor the guide placement based on the rod action. The values for the multiplier and the first guide spacing are not anything you would use on a rod.
Just for the heck of it you could use 5 or your chosen 4.5 inches as the first guide space and use a multiplier of 1.2 and see how the guide placements compare to what you used. . For a conventioanl a first guide distance of about 5 is a good place to start and for a spinner , 7. Of course you adjust that first estimate and refine the multiplier using several iterations on the spread sheet and then finally with the stress test.
What you used looks pretty close to being a 5/1.2 type set up which is what I might use for a conventional with a medium action.
Its pretty interesting to see how you can use this type of calculation and get pretty close on all different blank lengths and actions.
