The helical arrangement of resistors is very similar to that recommended in 
Craggs and Meek for precision HV resistors composed of many Manganin 
wirewounds in series. It's also a nice compact way to arrange the resistors 
that has the side effect of creating a very even electric field 
distribution up the column. Obviously, there is some inductance there, but 
in something like this, you're probably not overly concerned.

For a series string of C, you might want to check and make sure that you're 
not going to wind up with an unexpected resonance.  You could do a back and 
forth winding  pattern (one turn CW one turn CCW, etc.), or even just run a 
wire around, to kill the inductive component.
