I don't think I've noticed that specific gap, but I've noticed gaps similar to that. I assume that when you're working with that small of a scale, there has to be a gap that is a little bit larger than the other gaps. Also, most scales that I've seen have most of the numbers reserved for poor scores. An example would be a ten-point scale that has 0-6 as 'poor' to 'below average', and 7-10 ranging from 'average' to 'perfect'. For that scale to work, the gaps between all the numbers 0-6 would have to be somewhat greater than those that are between 7-10.
