How much of the remaining fuel could be allotted to make an intercept of a second KBO? I know the earlier a manouvre is made, the less delta-v is needed, but there must always be some leftover for the further extended mission (and data transmission of course). Is there any estimate of the percentage available for maneuvering, or could there be some situation where it would be better to 'stay the course' and not do a flyby?
