Hi,
	I think Case 1 would work better.  You would have less losses in primary
resistance.  Although in Case 2 you would have a larger primary capacitance
and a smaller primary inductance.  This means that the secondary voltage would
be higher in case 2.  The arc isn't related to voltage alone so I don't really
know.  For me I would go with whichever case I can get the best and cheapest
capacitors.

I have never used that many NST together so I don't have much experience in
that although it sounds ok from what you have said.
