The hybrid penalty does not make each mob worth X% less, it makes the amount of exp required to level X% more

so if a class/race with a 0% penalty took 100 exp to level, A wood elf ranger would take 140 exp to level.

I don't follow.

If a Hybrid loses X% xp per death, he merely has to gain X% xp back.

If a non-hybrid loses Y% xp per death, he merely has to gain Y% xp back.

X% xp is the same number of kills to him as it was to obtain. Hybrids receive no penalty above and beyond their innate penalty.

Even a flat exp amount lost the hybrid wouldn't be hurt worse, either, since as you pointed out, mobs are worth the same, but the xp bar is bigger comparatively. The loss would just look like more to non-hybrids.
