just reading this now and i don't understand why you could possibly need the %'s to add up to 100.. it'd be totally irrelevant as they do not equate to a whole of anything.
Just to help explain.. think of CMYK percentages as like transparency values in PS, or better yet, buckets of paint..
ie.. 2 parts of yellow mixed with 1 part magenta (or 100Y, 50M) equals orange. the quantity of paint you end up with is not an issue.
