Terry,

I did some work with bunched and unequally spaced electrodes
on a sync gap a couple of years ago.  I tried 240, 360, 480, and 720
bps.  The results were not encouraging (it drew a lot of power for the
spark length), but it may be worth re-investigating.  I've posted some
of the results in the past.
