If you're going charlieplexed, then you'll be lighting only one cathode at 
a time. Depending, on your overall design, that might mean one cathode ON, 
at any time, period. What kind of nixie are you using ? You may actually, 
need much less than that 10mA, you originally specified. If so, you have a 
little more wiggle room, in your design.
