Well, if the reported impedance is the single-ended impedance of those lines we have considerable margin to burn and should aggressively pursue the taper structure and bring in the keepouts at each end.

For the geometry that fit our constraints, we calculated a single-ended impedance of ~72 Ohm and differential impedance of ~111 Ohm (which corresponds to a tolerance of 11%).
