Why is the equivalent to (5% pages) is 3.24 for this image?

I am evaluating the software and try to understand the calculation of cost per print.
Here is what Epson's standard 5% ink coverage per channel and somehow I don't get it.
I downloaded the image above and converted it to an A4 sized PS image using pixel increasing so that the image stay as sharp as possible.
Then I used the Coverage ratio RGB only (PS, PDF) methode on 300 DPI
Now my question: I was wondering why the equivalent to (5% pages) is 3.24 where my expectation was anything near 1. What do I think wrong?
using the Coverage ratio CMYK+RGB (PS,PDF) comes with the same outcome if using the RGB caculation.
Does this mean: If the printers ink usage is stated to 10000 pages then I can print 1000/3.24 pages A4 of this image?
Thanks for any response
