The navy VLF books are downloadable from this link:
http://www.navy-radio.com/manuals/shore-vlf.htm
But the VLF bible in my opinion is this book, with wires capacity formulas and tables:
Arthur D. Watt, VLF Radio Engineering, Pegamon Press 1967
Also the capacity of 2 or more parallel top loading wires are here.
