If I had the chance to revise Extra Arms, I'd price it using the Speed/Range table, at 10 points per +1 on the Size line, which would give Extra Arms equal to the Linear Measurement-2 value. So level 1 would still give 1 extra arm, level 2 would give 3 arms, while by level 5 you'd be getting 13 arms. The benefit here is that you can just look at the total number of arms you have, and get the corresponding SM to multiply the level of the advantage by.

They provide a +2 to grapple or break free per extra arm. An equivalent bonus isn't cheap if you want to get it through other means.
