It's still progressing, albeit slowly. Currently assembling and painting the
minis for the photos in the book now Jon has kindly passed them on to me.
Unfortunately, real life work is eating too much time at the moment (the
perils of being promoted at work).

Not broken at all; I think you have misunderstood how the conversion works.

0-10,000 dT gets 1 box per 500dT
10,000 to 100,000 gets 1 box per 1,000dT
100,000 + gets 1 box per 2,000dT

These are summed as a composite - boxes under 10kdt + boxes under
100kdT plus boxes over 100kdT.

Thus a 100,000dT ship has 20 boxes for the element up to 10,000dT, and then a
further 90 boxes for the element up to 100,000 dT. This gives
110 boxes, which would split 28/28/27/27/kill

The 150,000 dT ship has 20 boxes (for the element to 10,000 dT), another 90
boxes (up to 100kdT), then another 25 boxes for the remainder until 150kdT.
Thus, it has a total of 135 boxes.

If you read the example that illustrates the conversion for hull tonnage on
p56 it gives a further example of a ship that straddles the first two bands.

The scale is a progressive one so that the smaller ships aren't stupid small,
and the bigger ships aren't stupid big. It levels the playability without
grossly skewing the ship performance.
