That's actually a huge mess. It means that most wounds have no effect (the next 9 wounds in your example would be augmenting Arm Gash up to 24).
Also, I don't like the idea of double augments -- augmenting a skill so you can augment a skill just feels wrong. It's too indirect, and seems needlessly complex.
It seems to me that it would be simpler to accumulate a single Wounded value.
