Even so the problem is with the nominal length of string needed. When my wife got her new Mizar, and we put S3 limbs on it the string we got for a '66"' bow was way too short. Even with only 5 twists it was at the very top of the recommended bracing height range for a mizar. I ordered a new, longer string and they accidentally sent a standard length string for 66" bow which was again too short, and had to be returned to get a longer one which now gives a good bracing height with about 30 turns.
The moral of this little tale is that you just can't trust the 'use this length string on this size bow' tables. You have to find the string length that is right for that particular bow. In your case you need one at least half an inch, and possibly even an inch longer. Once you get it right make sure you keep a record of the length that works best so that you can get new ones the right size in the future and don;'t go back to asking for a 'string for a 68" bow please'.
