Jack,

The VRM ripple and set-point accuracy and any uncompensated voltage drop 
on the planes should be subtracted from the allowed voltage band given 
for your loads and use the remainder to calculate the impedance target.  
When your full voltage variation allowance for the load is only 2%, we 
cant use a VRM with 2% tolerance, unless you use a more accurate 
monitoring circuit adjusting the output voltage to a much better accuracy.
