I don't believe your calculations are correct for a beer where you have added the final volume by top up. The utilisation of the hops is affected by the boil volume, & your calculation does not allow for this.

Have another read of Ross's excellent advice. His important point is that you are calculating your hop utilisation based on the final volume of the batch - and you are not boiling with the final volume.
