I don't know why this is an issue. All the quote means is that Cadsuane isn't as strong as two moderate AS. I've consistently stated that I think that Egwene is about as strong as two strong AS and Nynaeve three.
Based on your list, Merise would be 25, Melaine 20, Elza 15, Cadsuane 55 and Egwene 60, right?
Can't you see where the math fails? Egwene>Amys+Melaine, but no way is Cadsuane<Merise+Elza.
Moiraine 30
Egwene 60
Nynaeve 90
I also don't see why the apprentice comment is necessary. Aviendha is new to saidar but she can still measure strength in the Power.

Is she? It took the others time to reach that point. We have no idea how long Aveindha had been channeling when she made that comment. But there is no such issue with Elza's judgement of Cadsuane's strength.
