The ideal primary voltage lies in a range between enough energy to ionize
the spark gap type used and preventing pri to sec flashover.  A good value
is in the range of 15-25 kV (peak).

Spark length correlates strongly with input power levels.  Input power level
required to produce a longer spark is related to the square of the input
power required to double the effective output spark length multiplied by a k
factor.  See my forthcoming article in TCBA Newsletter on this matter.
