One allowance here buys 312,780 EXP, which places it 3rd of the 3 Lv 68 Culinarian tradecraft leves that record EXP. The best of them, Fish Box, returns 466,220 EXP for the same allowance, 49% more.

Across that rung the return runs from 312,780 EXP to 466,220 EXP per allowance — 3 distinct figures spanning 49%, so the wrong pick leaves 153,440 EXP of the allowance unspent.

On whether to wait: the best Lv 70 Culinarian tradecraft leve returns 509,840 EXP per allowance, 9% more than the best on this rung, while the Lv 66 rung behind tops out at 459,720 EXP.

At Lv 68 this data holds 27 leves paying EXP across 2 categories: the 24 Tradecraft ones average 550,185 EXP per allowance, the 3 Fieldcraft ones 1,189,544 EXP, which puts this leve 43% below its own category's average.

Jerked Jhammel ×3 is a Lv 69 Culinarian recipe, a single step, costing 6 units of raw material and 10 crystals.

Handing that in returns 52,130 EXP and 158 gil for every unit of raw material the order swallows.

The record carries a repeats value of 2. This site reads that as 2 further turn-ins on the same leve — an assumption, because the source data defines no meaning for the field — which would put the ceiling at 938,340 EXP and 2,838 gil for the 1 allowance it costs, or 938,340 EXP per allowance.
