Hey Dex...Since a joule = 1 watt per second, the PPS per second doesnt matter when you restrict the power per time base.
but to answer your question in order 1) about 2.2" 2) about .22" 3) about .022"If you kept the joules the same and increased the PPS you would see 55" at 100 PPS and then a decreasing length as PPS increase due to the L and C and R of the Primary circuit. ( probably a 10-15 % drop with each increase in PPS)
Theory is a cool thing but in 98% of the time it doesnt flow in a linear manner with reality....

Well constructed Tesla transformer with fixed primary energy E=10 J and pulse rate 100 PPS will deliver about 55" sparks. How long (aproximatelly) will be a spark lenght of the same Tesla transformer with: 1) E=2 J and 500 PPS 2) E= 0.66 J and 1500 PPS 3) E= 0.2 J and 5000 PPS Assume in all the cases same efficiency of the primary circuit.
