ok so say i'm driving along at 3,500rpm in 4th, slip it into neutral and when the revs drop to 2,800rpm slip it into 3rd?

sort of, but in reverse... If you were going from 4th to 3rd, then you'd have to rev the engine to bring the revs up..
The speed at which you drop it in is not constant... it depends on the road speed of the car. For example, check this graph out:
You can see for every gear ratio, for a certain road speed there is a matching RPM... (this is for some hybrid engined car, yours is probably different due to different ratios..).
So according to this graph, if you were doing 3000rpm in 3rd gear your road speed would be approx 100kmh. Then if you put it in neutral, to go to 4th gear (assuming the car remains at 100kmh) you would wait until the revs drop to 2500rpm. If you wanted to go back to second, you would have to rev the engine to 5000rpm (ie - follow the 100kmh line across). Of course in practice the car will start to slow down in neutral, so you have to adjust the revs accordingly.
It sounds complicated but it's more a seat of the pants thing
