This patch can be useful when used in combination with D13325: Allow Enabling Adaptive Sampling with Scrambling Distance. This is because you may enable Adaptive Sampling and Automatic Scrambling Distance and still experience some minor artifacts in very specific scenes (I personally haven't found that scene yet). This can be resolved by increasing the Scrambling Distance Multiplyer and this patch allows that to happen by letting you manually type in a multiplier larger than 1.
This is more convenient than turning Automatic Scrambling Distance off and manually inputting a Scrambling Distance value that is say 1.5x the value picked by the Automatic Scrambling Distance algorithm because that requires knowledge of the Automatic Scrambling Distance algorithm which is only visible in the source code.
