I don't see that the administration would be much different than what they're doing now, except you wouldn't have a single engine combination with 3 different HP factors!
Although it will require some refinement like everything else, using Nitro Joe's data, either a weight break or adjustment can be assessed in lieu of playing with the HP factors.
