I round down, think about it...
You have extra allowance due to the length of the nipples. But if they are too long theyll poke out inside the rim or you may not be able to tighten the nipple till they are up to tension.
Also dont forget spokes are durable enough to be re-used multiple times. It is often a good option to salvage from a different wheel.
