1:9 is the accepted figure for the skinniest it can be. I normally do 1:5 or 1:6.

Not necessarily a bad design. Whether or not your'll get port noise is hard to tell until the install is done, there are a lot of factors. You can probably go skinnier than 1:9 and use a roundover to be safe. The main thing is the skinniness of the port, and the added surface area inside the port because of that, affecting air flow and tuning accuracy.

It's the height to width ratio. IE: the lower the second number, the more square the port is.

Just don't. 99% of the time there's no need to, and a way to fit a properly proportioned port.

ok, so if anything make it larger?

Technically, the more square it is, the better. It's not about it being bigger, like more port area. It's about just not having it be too skinny.
