Perhaps one needs to utilize a circumference midway between the base and tip of the dibble points.  I suspect that the amount of slippage or drag is going to depend a lot on soil type, soil conditions, speed of travel, and the "physics" of how you engineered your particular rolling dibble.

In my experience there is also always additional drag or slippage. If
you compute the distance using John's method and base the positioning of
the points on the outer circumference (a circle at the tips of the
points) the actual spacing in the field between the holes always comes
out a little greater than it should be.
