Question Sails!!

On my largest Genoa, the bag is marked 180%. I've not seen anyone carry one this big. How can I tell if that is correct? It's the percentage it surpasses the mast if I remember right.
I believe all the sails I have are original (circa 1971). They appear to be in good shape, no rips, clean, etc. They are labeled "Morgan Racing Sails"
What determines when they are too stretched out?
I have the demensions of each sail written down. The bags are labeled Main, 180%, lapper, and storm. What yuns think?
