Is 165 Quant too low for top biostats PhD programs?

I would say it depends on your profile. If you are a Harvard math grad with good grades, not worth retaking.  If you go to directional state U, a 170 would probably help a little more. Especially since you did so well on the other parts, I would not retake it.

No, I wouldn't bother. That score is fine, and it isn't so low that it would raise any red flags.

Sometimes if you had a lighter math background, went to a relatively unknown school, or didn't get the best math grades, taking and scoring well on the Mathematics *Subject* GRE can help boost your application. But unless one of those things applies or unless you're aiming for one of the few programs that actually requires the Subject GRE,  I wouldn't recommend even taking that.
