Let's say C and LC has the same inks. If C is part of a partitioned 
curve you can set LC to 'Copy curve from C' with an ink limit of 100. 
C's ink limit should be half of what you'd normally use.

The reason LC should have an ink limit of 100 is that it copies the 
curve from C after C has already applied its own ink limit. Applying 
another ink limit would reduce the copied curve further.
