Using '--single-thread' with '--patch-from' on compression levels above 15 will lead to significantly worse compression ratios.

Corrected the man page not suggest anymore to do this.

(_fileLog_ being the _windowLog_ required to cover the whole file). You
can also manually force it.
Note: for all levels, you can use `--patch-from` in `--single-thread` mode
to improve compression ratio at the cost of speed.
Note: up to level 15, you can use `--patch-from` in `--single-thread` mode
to improve compression ratio marginally at the cost of speed. Using
'--single-thread' above level 15 will lead to lower compression
ratios.
Note: for level 19, you can get increased compression ratio at the cost
of speed by specifying `--zstd=targetLength=` to be something large
