Queen moves shouldn't be penalized more than others! The Nimzowitch way is to say that each move costs a tempo during the development phase. So if a piece moves around a lot and then is exchanged with a piece that hasn't moved that much you throw away all these tempi for nothing. With this in mind a piece should be placed on a square (the "right" square) and then stay there. That's the hard part for the Queen (to stay there)... I penalize each piece moved the second, third and so on time. These values increases with each extra move.
