Chris,

Not sure, but it should be possible to just slide the primary
of a tube coil so it's centered on the secondary, and ungrounding
the secondary.  Next the tuning should be touched up if needed,
and let the sparks emit from both ends of the secondary.  In other
words a typical tube coil should be able to be converted into
a bipolar coil very easily.
