This seems too easy so I must have missed something earlier in the
thread.

flat  Flat Rate  quantity 1   4   f (@@TOTAL@@ * 6)
flat  Flat Rate  quantity 5   99999   30.00

Totally untested and might have some circular dependency since the
criteria would normally be multiplied by quantity.  That could be 
fixed by adding a column for freight_units.  Normally set freight_units
to 1, in special cases you could increase it, say make it 2 for an
unusually large item.

flat  Flat Rate  freight_units 1   4       f @@TOTAL@@ * 6.00
flat  Flat Rate  freight_units 5   99999   30.00
