You have to compare the highes and the lowest rate you have. You have to choose r2q so the lowest-rate / r2q > 1500 and highest-rate / r2q < 60000. You can specify the r2q parameter if you add the htb qdisc. Shaping with a wrong quantum is not harmfull. But you will not get the results you wanted. I just did some small test with the quantum parameter. I have to make a link on the site, but you can find it for now on : http://home.docum.org/stef.coene/qos/tests/htb/quantum/ > 2.
