Add 6 grams Fermaid K at the 1/3 sugar break

Well, I'd lost my Fermaid for a week or two, and by the time I found it, this mead had dropped down from ~1.130 to 1.057, so it had about ~45% sugar left.
I figured I'd add some Fermaid even though I was late, but I wasn't sure if I should be adding more or less than was originally prescribed, given the delay. I ended up adding 3g Fermaid and 2g DAP (somehow I thought DAP was called for in your suggestions).
So, the question is, should add more Fermaid now seeing as it's depleted 55% of its sugar?
