Forgive my complete ignorance of mathematics and partial ignorance about convergence but is this calculation for horizontal convergence only? Or, does it take into account the distance parabola as well?

good point.
horizontal only.
I think the parabola arc (vertical drop) has some more complex math (for my skills level).

The parabola arc is also influenced by the plane angle itself, so I don´t see the point trying to adress that for a generic case.

Anyone know the gun to gun span on the Hurricane?

i remember an excellent series in SimHQ about convergence and deflection:

And there is another tool in excel, including plane speeds and angle allowing to calculate deflection.
