The equalizer system removed slack wherever it occurred and then applied equal pressure to each wheel. Without that system all rods required adjustment to remove the variable slack at each location. So with that in mind, ALL emergency brake rods required adjustment for proper function so any 'starting point' is moot if it ever existed.
Second, the reference mentioned had nothing to do with emergency brakes. It's for the intermediate pull rod on trucks.
I'm quite sure the Service Bulletins outline the full process of adjusting emergency brakes which would include adjusting the rod length for proper function.
