diminishing returns not looking good

I've generated about 98 million chains for one of the NTLM indexes getting 92.23% merge rate so roughly 7.7 million uniques. At the rate its going it seems like i'm going to have to generate 140-160+++ million chains in total just to get 8.5 million unique chains assuming it gets up to 94% merge which i think is rather low estimation.
Maybe to hit the 99.99% success rate i'll be better of generating one extra table
I currently have 4 tables with roughly 7+ million unique chains 18.37 work factor, rather than bring them to the 8.5 million which i want but doesn't seem feasible, i think it's going to be easier if i just did another table at 7 million chains.
I'm assuming the chain length of 150k isn't helping me much either.
Any thoughts?
