While your numbers are all correct (except for 'x = 1.96x,' that's off a bit), you're not taking into account the way leveling actually happens. Let's take the example of the HFL-WAR grouping with the IKS-SK: it's impossible for them both to level to 60 while in the same group, because the Iksar will stop gaining experience when the Halfling out-levels him too far. Similarly, the Iksar can't then pick up a level 1 Halfling, because the Halfling won't gain experience in that group.
From what I looked at on the game mechanics of the wiki HFL-War and the IKS-SK would level at the same rate if they were in the same group. Though they amount they need to level is different the SK would take a proportionally higher amount of XP per kill.

If they were soloing and killed the same number of mobs the SK would not have leveled as much.

Unless I'm wrong people mis-state the penalty as a group penalty. You don't recieve less XP just because you are grouped with a certain class/race. You may recieve less XP because you get a proportional amount to your total XP versus their XP and you would likely be grouping with even level players who if Hybrid have more total XP.
