Nope. See, the fun thing is that Nidus' Power Strength buff is multiplicative in nature.

The way it's calculated is as follows: With this in mind, here's the cool fun bits. First of all, Nidus has innate +15%, so he already compares to the random Arcanes for Excalibur, Frost, and Volt. Second of all, he can still reach +429% baseline. So from there, let's calculate it.
 * Modified Strength Bonus = Strength Bonus × (1 + Power Strength)
 * Modified Power Strength = Power Strength × (1 + Modified Strength Bonus)

The bonus starts at 25% of Nidus's Power Strength. So, here's the way to write this: Removing the added 100 from calculating the modifier, that means that Nidus can make the highest possible buff: +1183.84%.
 * Modified Strength Bonus = .25 × (1 + 4.29 + .15) = .25 × 5.44 = 1.36
 * Modified Power Strength = 544 × (1 + 1.36) = 544 × 2.36 = 1283.84 Power Strength
