It will not harm the transmission to skip a gear (any gear) while up shifting. You go into neutral during each shift, the transmission doesn't know which gear you came out of. The transmission only matches speed to the engine and to the wheels for the gear its in. Be careful during down shifting, you don't want to skip too far ahead and run the RPS's too high.
