To ?
Those dimensions are as good as any other.  I would wind it almost
completely with wire.  For instance if the form is 26" long, I would
make the winding about 25" long.  There is nothing special about
certain dimensions as long as they are reasonable.  I'm assuming
you will use a wire of 22awg to 24awg, something in that range.
Wind just one single layer of wire evenly without cross-overs.
