Yes, you should use the real broadcst address of the subnet. That may or may
not end in 255 (and as you note it will not if you are not using a /24).

Spread does not need to know the mask. It just uses the broadcast address
you provide to try to send broadcast packets.
We have seen occasional configuration problems with some peoples more
unusual network configurations, but a straightforward CIDR subnet should not
be a problem.

This Spread_Segment line should use the correct broadcsast address
200.xx.49.??? for your /27.
