Nothing says you have to tension the cable to a particular fraction of
it's breaking strength. It's more a matter of the desired tension for
appropriate stability for the structure. You could tension million
pound breaking strength cable to the same few hundred pounds as the the
regular non-EHS cable.
Now, if the cable is particularly heavy (per unit length) compared to
the design cable, there are some issues, but I wouldn't think that's the
case here, comparing EHS and regular cables.
