Plastic strip door curtains

I'm creating model of an existing factory with plastic strip door curtains. I have modeled these with a crack length of 350% and modulating profile of 50%.
does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is a reasonable approach or alternative suggestions?

thank you

Update
After reviewing some literature I changed the crack length to 250% to allow for overlaps which reduce the air leakage. Given that these curtains in an industrial environment can be effective a separating different internal environments am I being overly cautious?
