The 39 million of Hispanics are only those "detected"... There are million more hidding.

Possibly, but we don't know as they hide like rats in sewers, attics, basements, trailer parks, etc.

Anyway...

My calculations for marriage are that Asians and Hispanics make up 79% of all interracial marriages, but in reality it is less because I did not include Native and Other, which will probably drop it to 76-77%.

But as I said, most blacks no longer marry at all (to other blacks included) if you count the cohabitation rates, the story is quite different. The black out of wedlock rate is also 70%, so a lot of these cohabitation people have kids. About 50% of Hispanics have kids out of wedlock in America. 25% of whites. So marriage is really an outdated indicator.

If you check cohabitation, which I have not calculated, but skimming the numbers, I would guess Asians and Hispanics are only about 60% combined.
