For example i am trying to balance an Ankheg encounter to a group of 5 level 4 players. If i give them just 2 Ankhegs the challenge is Medium, but if i give them one more Ankheg the difficulty immediately jumps to deadly. Seems a bit excessive or am i missing something?

There's a multiplier based on the number on monsters that can cause the difficulty to jump
