I'm not sure it matters? Unless you plan on expanding your formulas to below level 40, that is. I'd honestly just treat BRD's 150 potency as 150 potency and just go from there.
You'd overvalue your stats if you do not remove the multipliers. One of the worst case examples could be that the solver assigns the *1.3 multiplier it doesn't know of exclusively to DET. Either you solve Damage = Potency * WD-Term or Damage/1.3 = Potency*WD-Term. As Potency is constant, the term has to change.
