It's a good idea, but I'd suggest two more options if I could...
E) 5 slots to input if (# of elements) is greater than X
F) Shipping calculated manually (as is the current setup)

the total elements.
The latter, of course, should always remain an option, in case calculations
don't work well enough. :)
