I need to make myself clearer: is it better for search engines to have most of your free site urls 1 folder deep as:
You were clear enough the first time.

It doesn't matter, unless you're going apeshit stuffing your url with millions of keywords, then you'll probably trip a flag.

In general, folder depth does not matter.

Here it is straight from Google:

typically the depth of the directory doesn’t make any difference for us; PageRank is a much larger factor. So without knowing your site, I’d look at trying to make sure that your site is using your PageRank well. A tree structure with a certain fanout at each level is usually a good way of doing it.
To Google, 99% of on-page optimizations have 1% of boosting ranking and 99% chance of hurting you.

If you want higher rankings, you hunt links.

P.S. Thanks for using quotes
