Note that just after the quench (Formula presented) whereas at the end of the bridge-stretching regime (Formula presented) The (Formula presented) assumption leads to an overestimate of (Formula presented) and to a corresponding underestimate of (Formula presented) Because of this assumption, Eqs. (35) and (36) do not allow for the decrease in the number of free monomers.
