Was it on the sidewall or the flat tread part of the tire. That is legal here and Jack does that for tires that have ran over something and punched a fairly large hole in the tread area. Not sure what kind of patch it is but he has to grind the inside of the tire first to get all dirt and everything out and make a rough surface for the patch to stick to. I have seen him use patches up to around 8 inches across and several inches long. But even a small sidewall puncture here is still not legal to have patched for anything but off road use.
