Dexter sort of initiated a rebirth in Arthur's cycle much faster than it should have been. The reason he starts another cycle within days or weeks of ending the last cycle is due to the fact that Dexter intervened in his life, brought him back to where he was "born" and unintentionally saved Arthur's life after he tried to commit suicide. I'd say provided Dexter hadn't shown up, Arthur would have waited months for his next kill.

So if he only killed 4 victims twice a year, yes your number makes sense. But Dexter has killed over a hundred himself (refer to Dexter's Kill List) so he's not the only one to kill over a 100 victims. But let's not forget, his earliest possible victim was his own father Henry Mitchell in 1964. That extends over 15 years passed the original date when they thought Trinity started his killing. I highly doubt Arthur only decided to start murdering people when he was 30 years old (which would have been 1979), so it's likely he has even more victims than those listed. Tracing back an additional 15 years if he picked up right after Henry, his kill count could possibly touch into 300.
