I am not an expert, but as I have read on this list, very small gaps have the tendency to clog with soot, difficult to keep clean.
With very many gaps you have to be sure that the total gap distance doesn´t get too big. I´ve heard 9 gaps for 12000 V
11 gaps for 15000 V
is good, maybe someone else knows better!
