I wasn't there when someone came up with 83%, but i think it's safe to assume that the 30* hang angle was found to be comfortable before SRL's were used and therefore 83% simply worked out to be the corresponding SRL length.
Calculate 83% of the length between the points you will be connecting the SRL to.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
