How to utilize tape space (wasting an entire tape on 2 gigs, WHY?)

Not sure what the deal is here...

Up until a few weeks ago we were getting by fine with 3 backup tapes a week.  Our structure is daily incrementals followed by weekly fulls.

For some reason, one of the backup jobs spills onto a fourth tape, but doesnt really put much data onto it (2gb when another tape still has over 100gb free).  I've attached a screenshot, which can also be found at

Any suggestions on how to utilize the free space on that third tape rather than moving to a fourth?

Thanks in advance for any tips/suggestions!
