I think you are fine with that. I don't think extra cetane will hurt anything. If anything, it will probably run and pull better. If in doubt, just add a little more pump diesel to the tank.
Cetane boosters can only go up so far. If one adds 7 points and the other also adds 7 points, you would expect to be up 14 points, right? But you will only be up 7-9 points in all likelihood.
No problems to be expected (other than a slight loss in $$ from the un-needed double dose).

I agree... your cetain numbers aren't going to skyrocket.. but be just about where they would be from either of the addatives.
