I think thats a great idea. I don't see why it would be detrimental at all.
The only thing that I can think of is that the field would be quite
concentrated towards the bottom of the secondary due to the high number of
turns in a small space, but this shouldn't cause any problems that I can
think of. Probably just depends on how tight you wind it.
