My 4.25" x 23.5" AWG28 secondary has been abused with
up to 6kVA and has held up quite well. It can be seen
at:

At the time of the photo, I was running it from my
14.4 kV 25 kVA pig. I've since changed my tank cap to
an MMC (multi maxwell cap), and get 6' sparks from a
15/120 nst.

You should be fine.
