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.
Note that although there may be only few knots added to the speed, the bigger flap setting means much more than just these knots in aerodynamical braking.
