alternate FTP test

I am following a Hunter Allen training program and the first FTP test is described as:
  1. 20+ min warmup with 3x1 high cadence
  2. 5 min effort at perceived threshold (not all out)
  3. 10 min recovery
  4. 20 min TT

Unlike other FTP tests I've read, the 5 min effort is not an all out effort. My question is: What percentage of the 20 min power can I use as my FTP? Also, do i take a percentage of the average power or NP for the effort? The training plan does not talk about how to calculate FTP, only the workout itself.
