Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for asking about the new criteria. We began evaluating the product output when WCAG 2.2 was released in October 2023. In November 2023, the International Edition of the VPAT was updated to Version 2.5, so we will continue to test and share an updated VPAT in Q1 2024.
In the meantime, I wanted to reassure you that the target area for radio buttons is larger than the actual button, is controlled by the author, and by default stretches across most of the slide. I'm attaching an image for reference. The blue highlight indicates the target to choose the radio button.
Hope this helps!
