If you accept that chart you posted as the authority, and 4320/4739 is your PAR, and you apply that 640 width, then

4320/4739 = 0.91158472251529858619962017303229

The reciprocal of which is: 1.0969907407407407407407407407407 * 640 = 702.07407407407407407407407407407

You can call it "702" for brevity. Most people would simply call it 704 because it is a better number to work with (704 % 16 = 0), an appropriate standard, and the result of using the industry-standard 10/11 PAR for 4:3 NTSC DVD.
