They can.I saw 10 kVA unit with k~0.28 ,secondary
height 7' / big electrode on top .It worked
perfectly.
No racing sparks or any problems.
I guess it has lot to do with power used , peak
voltage and coil size and construction overall.
Usually,critical coupling when max.power transferr
occurs may cause problems /expressed freq.splitting
and racing sparks if coil size is constructed near
maximum capability of withstanding peak power and
voltage.
