Like if you were trying to play 7 notes equally in a 4/4 time signature. You would write 7 quarter notes, and write the ratio as 7:4.
More common would be to write it as 7:8 and not as 7:4 because 4/4 beat = eight 8th notes
when talking about 7:4 it would mean you squeeze 7 QUATERnotes in the time of 4 - this is just a technical question - the correct form (to write it down )is in 8th notes.
Btw - it does not automatically mean that groupings of 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, etc have to fill the whole measure. they can fill just a beat or even parts of the beat. you can also include rests into such a grouping. there are countless ways
