Now which group bore the brunt of the fighting by far.......

Of course 11th Group and if you line things up, 16 squadrons is a very large portion of 11th Groups combat power.
We also don't know when in September or when other squadrons were approved.
It could have been a sloping curve of units being stood up on 100 grade when the strategic reserves were in place and the fuel distributed to the stations concerned.
So if we have 16 units on 01 September, we could have the entire RAF FC by 30 September!! Consequently, if we have 16 squadrons on 30 September, then that picture changes.
Facts are we don't know.
