Ultrium 2 and DP

Hello all,
we have Ultrium 2 and ultrium 1 drives/tapes with DP 5.5 in our enviroment. Tapes are 200 and 400Gb . If i format a 400gb tape using ultrium2 drive will it automatically allocate it as 204800 or will it format it with the default setting in DP and still accomodate more than 102400 ? If not Should these 400 tapes be manually set to 204800 and then be formatted? or is there any other alternative?

thanks
