1. Try Multi geo-zone multi table shipping contribution with option set to "Count"
2. Set the product attributes in Admin - Catalog

A quick and dirty method would simply be to modify the item rate shipping module - change the line

'cost' => (MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_COST * $total_count) + MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_HANDLING)));

to

'cost' => (MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_COST * $total_count) + 2.5 + MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_HANDLING)));

and set the item cost to £1.50. This means that all items including the first are charged at £1.50, but by adding an extra £2.50 in you effectively make it £4 on the first.

Or on second thoughts you don't even need to do that. Just make the handling charge £2.50. That will always add £2.50 on top of the number of items x £1.50.
