Any more than 15% worm castings in a potting soil or planting mix is not making good use of your castings.  Numerous tests have found no advantage to the castings beyond a 15% inclusion.  If enough castings are used they can actually retard growth of plants but surely no one would use that much.
 
BTW, I am not aware of any "grandfather" option in the NOP Organic standards.  You either meet the legal standard or you don't and if you don't you can't say you are.
