The example quoted was just an example. In actuality, it likely will have 0-100% of the 80% max. The scaling will be tweaked in the program to maximize efficiency. The reason being, when the engine is up to temperature and at idle, the heat load will be much lower than WOT at 5000 rpm. Thus the temperature alone does not need to be putting out 100% simply when the engine is up to temperature if you're only at idle. The 100% will be reserved for 200F+ temperatures.
