Default kodak 125px underexposed (3 stops) while long-time-exposure

hello

yesterday, in a dark church, where i photographed some dark choir
stalls, i underexposed a kodak 125px (3 stops). normally i push it to
get good grey values, which is not so bad because i shooted a roll of
120-film (6x6). but when i made the photographs i exposed very long time
so contrast will be enhanced a lot because of the effect of reciprocity.
i exposed 45 sec instead of 200 sec.

normally i develop in kodak hc 110 - b, n+0: 6,5 min. n+1: 9 min, n+2
12,5 min. what do you mean? should i take n+2, loose 2 stops, so that
zone v falls down at iii, whith a contrast of 3 zones, enforced by this
long-time-exposure?

regards h.k.
