No discrepancy.

Those 2 looks to small, but it should be OK.

A little small.

Still small

A little big

The lantanoids and actinoids are particuliar in that the orbitals and sub 
orbitals are not filled sequentialy. In the rest of the groups, the various sub 
orbitals receive 1 electron each before any get a second one. S receive 1, then 
P receive 3, one per axis, then S receive the second, then the rest of P is filled.
This sequance breaks down with the frouth orbital order. More paired electrons = 
smaler atomic radii.
