197w? This cannot be true, D. Are you sure that you have calibrated the PT?
Also - FTP is what you can hold at 'steady state' for an hour at your absolute limit - you are currently using it as 'recovery'- so no recovery. You will never be able to hold onto it after 30s smash repeats. No way.
As miro_o suggests, you will end up sub threshold anyway (in the sweet spot probably) which will still be a hard workout. Basically, don't worry about it - your body will only do what it can, just aim to get as close to FTP as possible, and you will end up in the sweetspot. It will still be a total barf-fest.
