Here in sunny Southern California, I shot my first roll at 200, bracketing at
100 and 400 (using a deep yellow filter).  None of the 100 were any good. The
best were 200 or 400.  Next roll I set my EI at 320 and bracketed at 200 and
400. All were at least acceptable or interesting. The 320 or the 400 were
often the best. Depending on the amount of infrared in your area, you might
only want to use increments of less than a full stop. Maybe 200, 320, 400, or
160, 200, 320.

I only shot two rolls but I can't think of any problems with your plan.
