Hi Paul,

I would expect higher losses due to proximity currents. Most primary's 
have a good deal of spacing minimizing those currents, but if we were to 
bundle everything together, those particular losses would certainly 
increase. So in that respect, I think the single copper mass is more 
efficient.

Take care,
Bart
