If it works the way the rest of the world works, and that is just guessing, I imagine it works something like this. And the quantities are just examples, nothing more...

McToys produces 10,000 of Figure #1, #2, #3, and #4 in a BAF wave.
The "chase" aspect of all this would lead me to believe the Platinum chase figure was a subset (say of figure #4.) So instead of 10,000 quantity of figure #4, let's say 8,000 qty. are produced as a "regular" and 2,000 quantity are produced as the "platinum". If I had to guess, with tooling and paint applications, that there is some expense or surcharge to switch the paint schemes to the platinum version. If it wasn't a chase figure, and there were more figures available for purchase, then I'd suggest the ration isn't quite 80-20, but maybe more like 60-40 or 70-30. I doubt a ratio of 50-50 would ever be preferred.
