You mentioned that the nipples still have a couple of threads left... two 56tpi threads is almost 1mm if my math is right. The ideal spoke would come right to the end of the nipple head. So if you're buying new spokes and planning on 0.5 washers, I'd add 1.5mm to what you had and round to the nearest available spoke.
