Weapon Min Damage At Range := ...
...
Weapon Min Damage Modifier Formula := [%ListedAmount%] + (([%Level%]-1) * 0.5)

Would it not be simpler to just add:
[%range%]

And then use:
Weapon Min Damage := 15 - ([%range%]/2) + (([%level%]-1) * 0.5)
Produces:
15 @ range 0-1
14 @ range 2-3
13 @ range 4-5
...

Then you don't need to specify all the "damage at range"s.
If you want a step function you could have a round-to-integer function:

Weapon Min Damage := 15 - 5*round([%range%]/10) + (([%level%]-1) * 0.5)
Produces:
15 @ range 0 to 9
10 @ range 10 to 19
5 @ range 20 to 29


PS:
You will definitely want to only parse the formulae once each if possible.

Having a separate formula.txt with named equations to use with parameters given by the particular components could make this simpler.

Most stock components use very similar formulae, and reusing them would probably help.
