IIRC, 2-4 km on average, but some were more than six km.

That's way too short.

Given that there can be routinely 200 floors on any building(and that's not factoring in the lower levels of Coruscant).........

On the contrary, we have buildings with a hundred storys that are well short of the half kilometer mark. And given that a lot of those are residential (with the lower floor to floor heights as compared to commerical buildings) or mixed use Coruscant's building heights relative to their stories are normal enough.

And keep mind that a lot of those have their height exagerated beyond what's necessary for the sheer prestige value of being a tall building.
