The gap between SSJ3 Goku (as well as Gotenks and Ultimate Gohan) and Beerus was so incredibly large, whatever multiplier SSJG gives must be tremendous.

SSJG Raditz would, at the very least, be the same level as SSJ Goku during the Namek saga. The real questions are how long would he be able to maintain that form and whether he has the talent to absorb it.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

I don't believe it's a multiplier, it's too ridiculously huge to be one.

He actually would be able to beat him since a SSJG power is capable of destroying an entire universe.

Meaning it adds a huge multiplier to someone's destructive capacity

Freeza at best could destroy planets,Raditz at the very least could casually destroy a moon.

Giving Raditz the same SSJG power up that Goku got his destructive capacity would be near Universe levels which is many magnitudes higher then a planet destroyer.

The SSJG boost is in a completely other league than any other form in the franchise

Toriyama did say that Super Saiyan God's strength depends on that of the Saiyan becoming one, but that doesn't mean it's a "multiplier." It could be something cumulative where stronger Saiyans got a more massive increase. It could depend partially on the 5 other Saiyans contributing to the ritual, too.

The power of the person who becomes SSJG is completely dependent on the strength of the Saiyans who pool their energy together. Case in point where the Original Super Saiyan God wasn't strong enough to even defeat a bunch of Oozaru's.

This, and I'm starting to believe ssg doesn't multiply your original power, but so much as allows you to use godly ki depending on how powerful your own body is to take it.

Such as if kid Trunks became ssg, he would be immensely powerful, but not as strong as Goku because it's be too much for his body. Super even hints it when Goku explains he keeps getting stronger when fighting Beerus because his body is rapidly adapting to it.

The way I see it, godly ki is a limitless source of power, barred only by how much power a vessel(body) can absorb and manipulate.

Shouldn't Vegeta then be significantly stronger than Goku since Goku, already a SSG, was in the ritual to turn Vegeta into one?

According to what Toriyama said in the Battle of Gods animanga, the strength of the Super Saiya-jin God depends on the one undergoing the ritual, and doesn't take into account the strength of those participating in the ritual with the focus.
