T&D rocker arms are only available in whole sizes such as 1.6:1, 1.7:1, 1.8:1. You can't purchase a T&D 1.73:1 rocker arm, they don't make one. Even their Cleveland rocker arm is 1.7:1.
Mixing ratios is a useful tool in some situations. For instance, if I were installing a Crane HR216 roller cam I would use 1.8 rocker arms on the intake side, and 1.7 rocker arms on the exhaust side. In fact I have a set of eight 1.8:1 rocker arms on the shelf for that reason, but I haven't used them ... yet.
