Actually, now that I look at the chart more closely, it bears out what you’re saying.

Two and one half times the distance resulted in a five fold increase in drop. So at an even greater distance, the increase would (I suppose) be even more dramatic.

Well... no kidding. That is how physics works for EVERYTHING. Gravity causes an acceleration after all.
