Well, as I said in the discussion with Guenther. I'm flexible and nobody
objected when I said to make both equal. A real range doesn't make sense
here though, but I don't know what's common practice for cases like
this.

Unfortunately not. The data sheet describes one bit which is cleared
when the new frequency configuration is applied, but it seems to be
cleared before the output is actually stable/enabled. At least our
testing failed when some driver changed the frequency and continued
operation w/o this additional delay.
