p718 of Gravitation is concerned with the expansion factor of the universe, and points out that it is only applicable above the scale of galactic clusters, which is to say the scale at which things aren't gravitationally bound. If I read it aright, it appears to be showing that in an isotropic and homogeneous universe, the expansion will be uniform - probably at all scales (above atoms) in the limiting case of a perfectly smooth gas, otherwise at the scale at which the universe can be considered homogeneous.
