going over 1001 doesn't matter at all, unless u want to make the gems for trophies.
As for a formula, hmmmm probably is..but i don't know it
i use the following rules at 1001 SC and have never failed in over 200 or so items:
5 - 5.5 OC - 2 x 98% 2 x 99%
3-4 OC - 3 x 98% 1 x 99%
1-2 OC - 4 x 98%
u can substitute higher gems (if ur lucky enough to get them), so that ur averages are still the same ...ie lets say for 5.5 oc u get 1 mp gem, you then only need 3 x 98%.
you can do all the neccessary OC's at 801, but i only know you need at least 4 x 99% to be successful.

found out some info on the VN boards which could be useful to all:
From :Libhita
For ‘safe’ OC’s
+5: 1001
+4: 801 (I have found you can do 5 pt OCs at this level using Avg 99% quality gems)
+3: 601
+2: 501
+1: 401
For average quality gems you can use...
1,001+ Spellcrafter
5pt average 98.5
4pt average 98
3pt average 97
2pt average 96
1pt average 96
901+
5pt average 98.75
4pt average 98.5
3pt average 98
2pt average 97
1pt average 96
801+
5pt average 99
4pt average 98.75
3pt average 98.5
2pt average 98
1pt average 97
FROM: KnutMasher
Calculating an overcharge chance:
Base chance:
1 pt overcharge: -10 %
2: -20 %
3: -30 %
4: -50 %
5: -70%
modified by the quality of each gem (per gem):
94-95: +0%
96: +1%
97: +3%
98: +5%
99: +8%
100: +11%
and the quality of the item itself:
94-95: +0%
96: +6%
97: +8%
98: +10%
99: +18%
100: +26%
and finally, the skill level of the spellcrafter him/herself:
50 -45%
100 -40
150 -35
200 -30
250 -25
300 -20
350 -15
400 -10
450 -5
500 0
550 +5
600 +10
650 +15
700 +20
750 +25
800 +30
850 +35
900 +40
950 +45
1000 +50
If you're in the positive region you stand a pretty good chance of making the imbue without blowing up. An 800 skill SC'er can pretty much do a 3pt OC without much consideration of quality due to the (-30%) of the 3pt OC and the (+30%) of the skill level bonus. By accident (wrong gem selection) I've done a few 2 pt OCs on 98 and 97 qual items (LGM SC'er) with nothing better than a 96 qual gem. They didn't always take on the first try, but never blew up.
