Round down, not up. You may run out of threads to tighten with with an overly-long spoke. Rounding to the nearest even (or odd) number should be fine too, so you will be fine with 304's and 276's (although by rounding down by 1.5m, you may get some threads showing past the nipple, which is just an aesthetic issue.
