If Felix Baumgartner had jumped with a wingsuit, how far laterally could he have gone?
gpt
A typical glide ratio for a wingsuit is 2:1 when jumping out of an airplane.  This means the jumper can travel 2 meters forward for every meter of vertical fall.  Higher glide ratios, near 3:1, are reported for short BASE jumps.

This means that in a 128,000-ft. fall, Felix could theoretically travel 256,000 horizontal feet, or about 48 miles (77 km).

Once terminal velocity is attained, falling from a higher altitude does not significantly affect the glide ratio, which is numerically equivalent to a lift/drag ratio.  The wingsuit will have a much higher velocity in thinner air, but the horizontal distance that can be traveled remains the same.
