Arc length factors in Riks method

Hello,
It would be grateful if someone could explain me how to calibrate arc length increment factors in Static, Riks method in Abaqus.
For a default input in Static, Riks step I get max LPF factor equal 147(this value is probably correct, expected 147.8). Unfortunately, I'm not satisfied in number of increments(the result of 12 increments). The question is: how to calibrate arc length increment factors(initial, minimum, maxium arc length increment and estimated total arc length) to get more accurate results.
I found something about it, quote:
