Jon's comments are correct about what happens if you hit EOT.

However, I wanted to point out that planner **does** use runtapes as well
as taper (as you noted) and it will try very hard to reduce the amount
dumped to less than runtapes * tapelength.  So reducing runtapes from 2
to 1 does not just affect what happens if you hit EOT, it also affects
the schedule planner puts together.
