Err... With the rubber band, you're extending it, not compressing it. Different physics involved.
Here's an exercise, grab a stapler and rip the spring out of it. Check how firm it is. Cut it in half and check how firm it is.
You'll find that the spring rate does not change.
The formula you're giving is one for calculating the spring rate of a NEW spring which is shorter. Two totally separate springs, not one that's been cut.
