Default wire size

i have a 1988 hunter legend 35. i recently attempted to tune the rig and noticed that the shrouds on this boat are of different wire sizes. the lowers are 9/32" the intermediates are 1/4" and the uppers are 5/16". i would think the larger wire would be the longest wire but that is not how the rig is set up. is it common for the wire sizes to differ?

i set it up roughly with the lowers (9/32") at 10% of the breaking strength, the intermediates (1/4") at 15% and the uppers at 20%. it sails much better. although i wasn't sure if the process is the same if the wire sizes differ. any input would be appreciated.
