Why not a slightly more complex formula, scuh as 4 + (N^0.5), round up, where N is the number of skills? Or something similar, but where you add a linear component to the cost. If tweaked right, it might be a more elegant way to achieve your desired floor.
(Personally, if I was to revise GURPS, I'd raise the minimum cost of Talents to 6, and have four tiers: 6, 9, 12 and 15 CP/lvl. And raise both DX and IQ to 25 CP/lvl. But fortunately, I don't have to do that.)
