Cltr for a static gap is theoretically (pi/2)*Cres, or 1.57 * Cres.  So 
n/BPS is pi/2, as you concluded.  We usually use 1.5 due to resistive 
losses and ease of calculation, which corresponds to n=150 for 50Hz 
mains.  The error in your calculations is in equation 5.5 - peak voltage is 
not used in the equation for power, only RMS.

Things get really interesting when you factor in the stored energy in the 
inductances of the NST....  Then you get C = .83 * Ir / (BPS * 
Vr).  Unfortunately I determined where .83 comes from....
