Yes, your math is correct by Rules As Written.

The price of the cumulative modifier makes much more sense when you show it alongside beneficial afflictions. +1 cumulative DX costs as much as +3 DX, which feels about right.

Beneficial afflictions generally cost 10 times as much as their disadvantageous counterparts. As a GM I'd happily decrease the cumulative modifier to +40% for disadvantageous afflictions only. Though I'd probably actually make it +50% because of pentaphilia.
