- Splitting into fixed size chunks:  2-3x
- Ring signatures with a sane minimum for guaranteeing anonymity:  3x
- Block time:  Negligible in the limit as the number of transactions increases
- Bigger individual signatures and addresses:  2x

Mostly agree, but one comment. Ring signatures do not make up the entire block chain, so using a mix factor of three (approximately 3x signature size) does not mean 3x in terms of blockchain size factors. Perhaps you are already assuming a mix factor of 5 or something, and the 3x number includes this.
