The points are to be read as follows;

min 3 max 18, costs 80/400

 

castigators: a unit has a minimum of 3 models, and a maximim of 18 models in a unit.

the cost is 80 points per 3 models , alternatively 400 points for the full maximum of 18 models. (a discount for a full model count, if you will)

so if you have 6 models, you pay 160 points, 9 models cost 240 points etc.

If you have an odd number of models,  (eg 4 or 5 models) you pay the full points cost as if you have the higher x3 number.

in the case of 4 or 5 models, it costs the same as 6 models., in the case of 7 or 8 models, it costs the same as 9 models, and so on.

 

Your two units of 4 would cost 160p each , the same as two units of 6.  Might be better to run them as 1 unit of 5 and one unit of 3

 

glaivewraith stalkers, min 5 max 15 cost 80. It’s 80 points every 5 models? What if i have 9 in total?

80 for every 5 is correct, if you have 9 it costs 160, just like if you have 10 models.

There is also no discount for a maximum model count unit here, as there is no slash and a second number in the points cost.

 

 

This info is in the Generals Handbook, matched play section. It is strange if they have not explained it in the base set booklets since they print the points stats there.

Hope this helps.
