This foot pattern is called Rumba clave. In this video I've been playing it in 2:3 and based on a straight 16th note feel.
This is how the left foot (F) lines up with the 16th notes:
R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L
       F    F           F        F           F 
So the left foot plays the 3rd, 5th, 9th, 12th and 16th note of a series of 16th notes in a bar. Hope that helps to figure it out. As I said in the video, if you guys are interested in more left foot clave videos and exercises, let me know and I'll happily continue this topic. 
Happy drumming!
