Many dry caps in series?



I'm considering a new capacitor design that uses 20 rolled poly
capacitors in series, each using a single 6 mil LDPE dielectric.  I would
again use extended-foil construction with household aluminum foil.  Would
such a construction reduce the voltage per cap enough that it wouldn't
create corona and be necessary to displace the air with oil?  I'd love to
avoid that whole oil-thing!
