Pillager Patrols spawn within a certain radius (200 blocks according to the wiki) outside the villages, I don't know if it's from the center of or the outer boundaries of the village (?60 blocks from center of village). And in the recent updates, it seems that villages have become more frequent, thereby having the spawnable range of Pillager Patrols dramatically widespread.

(I do not know if the consequences of this are intentional or not which is why I'm posting it here)

This is problematic for players who want to play in the higher difficulty modes as well as wanting to build in certain biomes, wishing to build outside the spawnable range of Pillager Patrols without destroying the villages. To walk for a few hundred blocks only to find a 2nd village (after the initial first), then proceed to walk another few hundred blocks just to find a 3rd, knowing all the space between and around them is where Pillager Patrols will spawn is demoralizing.

If my concerns are agreed with, the solution can be either/both (there's a spectrum) reducing the radius of Pillager Patrols Spawn area around Villages, and/or reducing the frequency of Villages spawned in the world.

Sidenote, while checking other Pillager related bug reports to see if there was a similar report, I saw a number of past resolved reports saying how Pillager Patrols were spawning very frequently and couldn't help but think maybe the spawn rates of Pillager Patrols were increased due to areas of overlapping radiuses from the villeges being close to each other and perhaps stacking the spawn rates of the Patrols
