This option has nothing to do with the number of patches; it's about the GRF's degree of fragmentation. Everytime you patch files in a GRF, patchers will erase content and replace it with new items if possible. This operation creates wasted space in a GRF; for example, if you replace an image which had a size of 1000 bytes by a new one of 800 bytes, you'll be left with 200 unused bytes.

 

This has the advantage of being efficient (in speed) most of the time and it's great for quick patching. The disavantage is that if you do this often, you'll get multiple 'holes' in your GRF - a fragment. When the GRF reaches 50 fragments, it will be repacked/defragmented, which is rather quick anyway. This whole process is almost exactly the same as what happens to your hard drive.
