On a smaller jet, landing single-engine with flaps 25 instead of 40 means an approach speed 5 knots faster.
The book says that each extra 5 knots means an extra 7% landing distance.
Beware that tail-mounted engines (MD-80s etc) on a normal landing can reduce rudder availablity on a slippery, gusty runway, so that directional control can be lost, up to about 70%! You must quickly stow the reverers if steering control is reduced and try reverse thrust again at a slower speed.
Let's hope that you refuse to accept any aircraft with inop. anti-skid for a wet destination, and the MEL requires you to refuse it.
