When starting base radius is high and a resource's size/richness is high, low frequency values are either not considered or not calculated correctly. This actually happens more with stone and coal. Also "should not be there" resources size are also way lower than specified settings.

Check this map string. Lower the coal frequency value. Nothing changes. Also they are very small despite of max size value.

Lowering coal to 25%, the patches in the preview went from 7 to 5 so I don't see a problem with that.
If you meant something different, follow 3638 so be more specific, provide exact values and describe what you expect.

Look at the both sizes and patch count of coal. They are very small and same for 4 values of percentages(50-17). Also why coal patches are "very much" higher than other resources despite same percentage?

I have no clue what you mean, coal patches are gigantic, super rich and in the frequency spectrum from 50% to 17% the patch count inside the preview window goes from 7 to 6 to 5. Either you are miscounting or not using factorio resource generation in the first place.

If these coal generations are correct, then where are other resource generations? Because there are huge differences both in size and patch count between other resources with the same generation settings
