Further thoughts on Free Radical Sub

Understanding the free radical substitution and the stability of radicals will help us decide the ratio of the products formed.  This statement clearly shows that for an alkane molecule with more than two carbon atoms, we are likely to observe a range of halogenated alkanes to be produced.  Hence, a question to ask is how can we decide the ratio of products.
