I have literally done a hundred brake jobs with these style calipers and probably half of them end up with the situation you describe. This is of course assuming there is no air in the system .
I'm following a GM guide for adjusting the e brake lever. What I end up with is the lever will have about 1/4" gap between the stop and when the e brake is locked up. The pads end up tight to the rotor when the e brake lever is on the stop.
