I assume you are looking for data other than spheres or needle gaps, for
which there is copious empirical data, reflected in all the "standard"
spark gap tables.

I have a paper here by D.B. Hopkins at LBL: "Design Considerations and Data
for Gas Insulated High Voltage Structures" (I have no idea what journal it
came from... It's just a photocopy), but it has a bunch of empirical data
plots for various electrode configurations: tubes crossing at a an angle,
bars over planes, etc.  Lots of references...I'll see if I can extract some
useful data.
