Okay, I am way simplistic in this department but will add another 'penny' to the conversation.
I find that no matter what shape I am working with, what I was taught way back in the 70s still works pretty well: The folded cane should be 'about halfway' down the staple. I experiment too but it seems this old advice works better than fussing with measurements all the time. (This irritates my engineering friends, I know.) My wrapped reeds come out at about 75 mm which I know is WAY long but the final result seems to work.
Of course I must adjust to accommodate a narrower shape, i.e. tie a bit shorter (with the folded cane being more than 'halfway' down the staple). I take my time when wrapping and tend to pull the first wrap quite slowly to avoid cracks. If I pay close attention to how the cane is closing with the final wrap or two, making sure that it's aligned on every plane, I usually get very good results (no leaks).
