You should fix the number of digits for the S column and two pairs of are required around the two textbf.... You may consider also removing the braces around 10 but I'll leave it for you to decide.

Here is how I interpret your table. Since you have aligned the table at decimal point, the number without decimal is set to the left. You may overcome this by enclosing the two nunbers 10 in curly brackets (10) or using multicolumn1c10, but this is typographically probably not correct.

You need to override the S column to a c in all places where you don't have a percentage (and the numbers in the first column should be 4.2):

"and the numbers in the first column should be 4.2" Could you please explain why? As far as I can see the numbers have only 2 digits before and 2 after the decimal separator. Why use4.2which corresponds to four digits before and two after the decimal separator?

One more variation ...
Your problem arise from the fact that text in multicolumn cell is wider than natural width of the spanned columns. Problem is solved, if you make those column has equal wider width, for example with determine their widths enough large as it is done in the following MWE:

@Sveinung, sorry, I didn't test your solution :-(. I will do this asap. However, it has bigger reservation for integers in the last column and consequently work as you said. For this kind of tables number of sample are (usual) centered (since they are different type of data), so doing this is not typographical problematic.
– Zarko

@Sveinung, I just test your answer. It also work without any warning , if you for the last column declareS[table-format=1.2,table-space-text-post=%]. In this case you obtain better result, of course if you enclose number of samples in curly braces :-)

You need to override the S column to a c in all places where you don't have a percentage (and the numbers in the first column should be 4.2):

"and the numbers in the first column should be 4.2" Could you please explain why? As far as I can see the numbers have only 2 digits before and 2 after the decimal separator. Why use4.2which corresponds to four digits before and two after the decimal separator?

One more variation ...
Your problem arise from the fact that text in multicolumn cell is wider than natural width of the spanned columns. Problem is solved, if you make those column has equal wider width, for example with determine their widths enough large as it is done in the following MWE:

I have zero overfull hboxes in my example. And the numbers 10 centre if I enclose them in curly brackets.

@Sveinung, sorry, I didn't test your solution :-(. I will do this asap. However, it has bigger reservation for integers in the last column and consequently work as you said. For this kind of tables number of sample are (usual) centered (since they are different type of data), so doing this is not typographical problematic.

@Sveinung, I just test your answer. It also work without any warning , if you for the last column declareS[table-format=1.2,table-space-text-post=%]. In this case you obtain better result, of course if you enclose number of samples in curly braces :-)

Good observation, your are absolutely right, and I should have spotted it myself. Thank you. This assume the the figure 10 is centred. If not, it should be 2.2.
