Patches come in two flavors generally; comprehensive, and consecutive.
Comprehensive patches are often made for v1.0 games, or all versions of the game. If I loaded WoW, I could download a comprehensive patch to make it to the most recent version.
COnsecutive patches cover only small parts of a game. For example, if I had a patched version 1.5 of a games and wanted to patch it to 2.0, I would download the 1.5--->2.0 patch.
