Superia 200 does pretty well in long exposures. You can either expose one stop longer, as recommended above or you might consider opening the aperture a stop instead if the longer time introduces problems (motion, etc).

If we follow the compensation pattern you would add 1/3 stop for every quadrupling of exposure time from 4 seconds on. For 128 seconds I would expose 1 1/3 stops over or about 340 seconds.

2 4 16 64 256 1024 4096 Metered Exposure

2 6 27 128 681 3400 16384 Compensated Exposure

0 1/3 2/3 1 1 1/3 1 2/3 2 F-Stop Increase in Exposure

I'm not sure how linear this continues beyond 64 seconds, but this is a good starting point. As with using any new film, test for your conditions and take good notes!
