The stat(1) docs don't mention that -c FORMATS are printf(3) style formats and there is no reference to click to learn about them. The find(1) -printf docs say "Unlike the C `printf' function, they do not support field width specifiers." which is wrong, $ find z -printf %-5fq\\n z q therefore add a reference there to the "C printf function", probably man 3 printf.
I've a patch approaching 4 years old to fix that: http://www.pixelbeat.org/patches/findutils-4.1.7_doc.patch Pádraig.
