To be pedantic, only Quick NPs can reach 1600 if there's an interlude so saying 1600 is normal is technically incorrect. Moreso when we pool Arts and Busters together. And off the top of my head, there are just 4 servants who break past 1200 after an interlude making NPs that break past 1200 as exceptions more than anything.

Most single targets Arts NPs will deal 900% and most single target Quick NPs will deal 1200% when we're keeping things at NP1. These have been the norm for a while now and servants like Vlad received interludes to maintain this new status quo.

The multiplier for Buster cards is 1.5x which makes 600% become 900%.

The multipler for Arts cards is x1.0 so 900% remains as such.

The multiplier for Quick cards is x0.80 which makes 1200% become 960%.

So Buster NPs are on par with the other two even at 600% or close enough. But otherwise, this is mostly balanced as you can see and so that 600% isn't a detriment in itself. As for how it's dealing more damage than 1200~1600  if this calculation is correct, I don't know. It would make sense if the base multiplier for quick was x0.75 instead but ehh.

Though we should also remember that Kiyo has a self Buster up skill as well as Mad Enhancement EX so in her case, she's dealing a lot more damage than is typical for single target Buster servants too. Even without activating Bathing Transformation, she still has a 12% modifier to all of her Buster cards.

And the individual passive and active abilities of the servants play a big role. Illya and Bedivere have self-Buster ups on NP activation which further allows them to deal more damage. Then we get into the class multiplers and Illya is dealing slightly less now due to the Caster class having 0.9x multiplier compared to Lancers with 1.05x if I recall. Then of course, there's the individual servant's basic stats. Ushiwakamaru at NP1 who can reach 1600% will suffer from the stats of a 3 star when compared to golds (which isn't actually a problem since she's a silver and can be easily NP5'd).
