For any given digit range the numbers with the longest spelling have the highest LH.
7-only-combinations are always among those numbers. Here's a table with their corresponding LH:

 number from here |              number segment | letters from here | LH
------------------+----------------+-------------------+-------
        777777777 | seven hundred  | 87                | 9 2/3 = 9 14/21
         77777777 | seventy        | 75                | 9 3/8
          7777777 | seven million  | 68                | 9 5/7 = 9 15/21
           777777 | seven hundred  | 56                | 9 1/3
            77777 | seventy        | 44                | 8 4/5
             7777 | seven thousand | 37                | 9 1/4
              777 | seven hundred  | 24                | 8
               77 | seventy        | 12                | 6
                7 | seven          | 5                 | 5

Looks like 7777777 beat my previous suggestion. It worries me that LH(8878878) is the same (alongside others like 3878373).
