Well, it depends on the characters.

I think that it makes strategic sense to use the first three floors as a single buffer zone. It means that Shalltear has more lattitude to wait till an invasion force has started to lose some of their cohesion before hitting them full force, alternatively she can hit and withdraw to pull them into traps and such. Also, rezzing Guardians isn't cheap, so it makes economic sense as well.

And the sixth floor has Aura and Mare, while the eigth has Victim, Aureole, and Rubedo. So numbers wise it's not like we're even missing any top-level NPC's, they're just arranged to ensure that everything gets much harder for intruders the further they go.
