Reputation (the score) is a private per-node thing, while the `reputation_loss_rate` is explicit in the HTLC.
I am uncertain how that changes your analysis, though. In a line network like you showed, the reputation "bins" are Node1->Node2 and Node2->Node1 and so on. It may be more useful to think of the reputation bins as assigned to half-chans than to nodes.
So the initial Mallory3->Node18->Mallory2 gives high reputation to half-chans Node18->Mallory3 and Node18->Mallory2, then sacrifices the Node18->Mallory3 reputation to destroy the NodeN -> NodeN+1 and NodeN+1->NodeN reputations.
Along that line, reputation lost is higher as N increases. Graphing reputation lost along that line, we form a triangle, and the area of the triangle is the total reputation destroyed. Only the length of one edge of the triangle is what is lost by the Node18->Mallory3 reputation score. So yes, it seems you are correct here.
