I routinely loop only half of the cleat. Never had a problem. Consider reversing direction so the loop has to make a change of direction inside the cleat, it will better resist coming out that way.

Monster cleats are handy in storms as you can tie multiple lines on without gagging the cleat. If you get into storm conditions, the other lines on the cleat will keep the half-looper from moving.
