Another inconsistency ... since 4 women held a shield on Rand who is Stronger than Logain EDIT

not to mention a few flaws in your thinking ...
1. Nynaeve put a shield on Logain that she admitted to herself wasn't going to hold if he even tried to break it ... the scene makes it clear that Logain could have quite easily have broken Nynaeve's shield if he had made the effort.
2. Odds are the weakest sisters in the camp were relegated to holding Logain's shield ... things like this are always relegated to the weakest (as Cadsuane notes when they are holding Semirhage). The women holding that shield were likely even weaker than Siuan's new strength so your assumption that 5-6 women of 2x Daigian level is what would be required to hold Logain doesn't really hold water. Odds are Logain could be held by the equivalent of 7x Daigian strength ... I believe Nynaeve to be about 6x Daigian(or about 2x Moiraine), which is why he could have broken her shield but not a shield held by 5-6 weak AS. Egwene is about 2x Sheriam (from the Amys + Melaine quote) which makes her approximately 5x Daigian.

Could Norla be the other woman stronger than Nynaeve?

we don't know the strength difference between Cadsuane and Nynaeve

Nynaeve is of course roughly twice as strong as Cadsuane...

you and your assumptions crack me up ... there is zero evidence that Nyn is 2x Cadsuane

Explain to me how Moghedien is only 60% of Lanfear and managed to do anything?

Easy. And I dispute that all 6 women shielding Logain were only 10% stronger than an Accepted.

I didn't say Semirhage is definitely one of the 6, but his answer leaves it as a viable possibility.

I'd disagree with that statement. I think he definitively ruled her out with his comment

I think Shannows' point is that even with reduced strength, Lanfear is still the most powerful

This seems like the most likely case to me, but Sommeryn is unsubstantiated to date

I think there's a stronger case for Someryn than most women

I agree that she is the most likely candidate, but there is nothing beyond speculation

Talaan isn't stronger. She is the same strength and has been actively channeling for 6 years
