I thought a loss at any level regresses to the next level, not back to the even chance.
The order from previous to next location is this:
PREVIOUS
Even chance.
Dozen/Column.
Double-street.
Quad/Corner.
Street.
Split.
NEXT
From previous (lower-paying) to next (higher-paying), we say we progress.
From higher-paying location to lower-paying, we say we regress.
Remember: The progression we are are talking about being "Progression in risk". The higher-paying location covers less numbers and hence the RISK rises/progresses.

Am I missing something here? If we miss 3 spins and go back to the even chance level, how would we ever get to the splits level?
This is a *delayed* parachute, with a "conscious twist".
We're always hoping we wouldn't need to get to the splits level and all the bets resolve previous to it.
There are two things going at once: the unit size and the current location's payout.
You are positively mixing a progression in unit size with a progression in risk.
-Yes- The math is kinda fuzzy since it's not an straightforward progression; your unit size changes as well as your current bet location's payout.
In this scenario it's all about the bankroll balance and checking if the bet was a profit or a break even in order to stop/reset.
