Intercept Plotting - it works, sorta

I am using this post as my general intercept plotting forumla and for targets a few Kilometers out it has worked quite well the last day or so.

However, I am running into a problem charting an intercept for very long range covoys that are reported, yet interceptable. I do everything the same, yet when I use the compass to input the speed values, since the distance is so far, it gives me maybe only a few degree adjustment. Do I need to modify something (i.e. make the speed values double every X distance, etc) if the covoy is severl hundred kilometers away, or does this work the same?
