If you use just the fractions and EP, you will get ~ the same numbers as if you used unadjusted fractions and EP and then adjust the compound ratings by +.26.
But don 't adjust both, it appears.

For what it's worth I read an older edition of Ainslie Complete Guide to Thoroughbred Racing... on page 260 he says that a pace handicapper should add the entire variant to the final time but add proportional shares of it to the fractional times. So I suppose he's agreeing with what you're saying... to add it to all the fractions. This statement isn't in the later editions of his book. In fact, they removed a lot of his comments on pace in the later editions.
