Smooth or not, too small of a toroid will tend to produce multiple
sparks; this is what I observed with my current coil when I had the
(smooth) toroid from my previous coil on it, even though I had a
breakout point (more like breakout hump).
When I built the larger topload, I was back to one single streamer.
Some people prefer to have multiple streamers. As for myself, I prefer
one.
