Does Larnaca airport count as being in the EU? If it does then I believe that my interpretation of Article 7:

Right to compensation
1. Where reference is made to this Article, passengers shall receive compensation amounting to:
(a) EUR 250 for all flights of 1500 kilometres or less;
(b) EUR 400 for all intra-Community flights of more than 1500 kilometres, and for all other flights between 1500 and 3500 kilometres;
(c) EUR 600 for all flights not falling under (a) or (b).

would be that ALL flights within the EU (intra-Community) would come under (a) or (b), so the maximum compensation for an EU to EU flight of more than 1500 km would be EUR 400 regardless of distance.
I am willing to listen to arguments to the contrary.

Yes - good point. Forgetting that the 600 euros doesn't apply to intra-EU flights (Cyprus definitely in the EU!). So no wriggle room at all - definitely maximum payout of 400 euro.
