Hi all,
A brief note on this....

Actually depends on length. Also, 30nH is 3 orders of magnitude less
than a 30uH primary coil, and couple of orders of magnitude less than
several feet of interconnect wiring. "High Power Electronics"
references an estimated figure of 15nH/cm for a 1mm diameter
discharge channel amongst others. They also note the relative
insignificance of the gap inductance compared to other circuit
elements.
