If you look at the bit stream, say 20 bits at a time, there will be a lot more bit combinations with PRBS15 than with PRBS7 (both 8B10B encoded). Looking at a 20 bit long pulse response, one can compute the bit sequence that produces the worst jitter. With more 20 bit combinations in PRBS15, there is a higher probability that the worst case jitter sequence will occur.
