You could reduce this to just rounding using the 40% rule + minimum of 1 bold letter right?

1 * .4 = .4, 1 bold letter (minimum)

2 * .4 = .8, 1 bold letter

3 * .4 = 1.2, 1 bold letter

4 * .4 = 1.6, 2 bold letters

etc.

As GP said, the exact numbers are configurable, therefore your simplification may not work. BTW, none of the examples (the first text and all the subsequent variants) on the web site follows exactly these 3 rules, it must be something more.
