Was your 200 miles of light driving on the highway? How much did you apply the brakes?
If the manufacturer doesn't specifically recommend a bedding process involving multiple hard braking sessions from high speed (I don't think EBC Yellows do), then you'll need to make sure your bedding process includes plenty of soft/light braking to get some pad material transferred to the rotors to ensure proper brake performance. Neighborhood driving usually works great with stop signs or just intermittently pulling over every once in a while. If on the highway, you can apply *extremely light* pressure to the brakes (need to keep your speed) for a few moments at a time with intervals long enough to keep the brake temps from getting too hot - I shouldn't have to say it, but don't do this in traffic
