Though it is a good idea.
May be I understand Your idea not right. Two (or more) wires connected
in paralel on the ends can be used if wire is too thin to acive coil
length of 1/2 of a coil diameter when step of wireing is twice of wire
diameter. But anyway space betwin wires should be equal to wire diameter.
Also it is posible to use an additional wire to get a appropriate space
but then additional wire should be removed. If there is no space betwin
wires then Q will decrease. Not too much but...
