Let's do the math. Nail was around 42k when he and Piccolo fused. Piccolo spent a month getting to King Kai's planet and then less than a week actually on the planet. When Goku was on King Kai's for 128 days, or 18 weeks, and at 8,100 power level when fighting the Saiyans, he gained 427 points a week.
Assuming Piccolo had the same advancement, that would make his power level around 3100 when he fused with Nail. Together, they were able to fight off second form Frieza, who was over a million. That's nearly a 30 percent improvement for Nail. Let's say that scales linearly, and it just so happens that all of the fighters on Universe 6 Namek are around Piccolo's potential 3000 (which the U7 fighters were, as well), that means that with each addition, Saonel and Pirina increased by 30.
It would only take 3 absorptions to get to around Gohan's Super Saiyan Cell level...
You would be at 30 billion with just four...
And that's using Nail's lesser 30x increase, compared to Piccolo's potential 333x.
Ahh, but see you're making an assumption when you scale it linearly since that's unlikely to be the case. Nail for example, was probably one of the strongest Namekian on that planet bar Piccolo and Super Kami Guru and was in that 1% of warrior-clan Namekians.
You're assuming that every person who fused with the U6 Namekians were in that top 1% of warrior-clan Namekians along with them, so you're going to get a much lower multiplicative effect when they fuse since everyone in that U6 Namek is nowhere near as strong as Saonel and Pirina, hence why they were chosen. So you can't assume that each time they fuse, their power levels increase by x, more realistically the number to multiply by would be a lot smaller, although it would build up, it definitely won't be 30x each fusion.

Besides, we saw it in the episode. Gohan towards the end of that fight was practically toying with them. They were no match for him alone.
