Since all fragments sum to the length of the genome, if the longest fragment is equal to the inverse of the number of fragments, it implies the sites are perfectly evenly spaced. Conversely, if the longest fragment is nearly the entire length of the genome, it implies the restriction sites are concentrated in a tiny region of the genome.
