Seems like you are a busy lad... I dont think there is any more magic
beyond "just scale" to the organ size you are working with. In any
case I usually just find it simpler to scale the organ and not the
parameters.  ie: make the heard the size of a brain.

Sounds suspiciously like what happens with registration of mouse brain
data. Here I was hoping they would comment on this but no luck so far!
