Maybe the issue is that, if I read you correctly, your analysis implies a linear progression in the value of players.
No definitely not!
Roughly the way it works for each rating service:
(401-rank)^(3.5)
These are then summed across the 5 services, and the total is normalized so that a #1 across all the board would earn 1000.
For example,
#1 = 1000, #2 = 991.
#100 = 347, #101 = 343.
