Yes.  They got longer sparks at 30 PPS because they were able to 
increase the
peak power, yet keep the overall power to a reasonable level.  This 
permitted
the tube to handle more average power as John G. mentioned.   So it's 
not
actually the 30 PPS that helped the spark length, but the increased peak
power that could now be processed without destroying the tube.

Short answer is yes, because power input in VTTCs that are not optimal 
is lost, typically as heat in many different components. 
It is a system subject to loss which is a variable associated with many 
components. Not all coils are equal.
