A little elementary school level math and a calculator can help :)
If the nominal delay between consecutive 1 bits is 4 uS at 300 RPM,
it will be 4 * 300 / 280 =~ 4.29 uS
and 4 * 300 / 320 = 3.75 uS at 320 RPM

Where did you get "4"? It looks like that the disk spins from 0 degree to 359 degree five time each 1 second. RPM stands for rotation per minute. You multiply 5 rotation by 60 seconds and it equals to 300 RPM. How do you get microsecond?

1/250kHz = 4us  (s is seconds, S is siemens, a unit of conductance)

For 300/320 and 300/280 the RPM cancel as it is a ratio.
